TSK · 2 Samuel 6:1

Then came all the tribes of Israel to David to Hebron, and spoke, saying, "Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.

David consulted with the captains of thousands and of hundreds, even with every leader.

So David didn't move the ark to him into the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.
