1 E vieram os de Quriate-Jearim, e levaram a arca do SENHOR, e meteram-na em casa de Abinadabe, situada no morro; e santificaram a Eleazar seu filho, para que guardasse a arca do SENHOR.

2 E aconteceu que desde o dia que chegou a arca a Quriate-Jearim passaram muito dias, vinte anos; e toda a casa de Israel se lamentou, voltando a seguir o SENHOR.

3 E falou Samuel a toda a casa de Israel, dizendo: Se de todo vosso coração vos volteis ao SENHOR, tirai os deuses alheios e a Astarote de entre vós, e preparai vosso coração ao SENHOR, e a somente ele servi, e vos livrará da mão dos filisteus.
