The chest had been kept at Abinadab’s home for many years; David gathers 30,000 men, transports it on a new ox-driven cart, and celebrates with music, singing, and dancing before the Lord.","151 King David Brings the Sacred Chest to Jerusalem  \n2 Samuel 5-7; 1 Chronicles 11-17 English Bible  \n151 King David Brings the Sacred Chest to Jerusalem  \nEnglish United States  \nCopyright © 2026, SIL Global  \n[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/)  \nYou are free to make commercial use of this work.

Then he and his army conquered the fortified city called Jerusalem, and he ruled from there. Jerusalem became known as David’s City.  \n2 Samuel 5:5-7; 1 Chronicles 11:4-5  \nHiram, king of the city called Tyre, sent carpenters, masons, and cedar logs for lumber to build a palace for King David in Jerusalem.  \n2 Samuel 5:11; 1 Chronicles 14:1  \nThen David consulted with many Israelite leaders, saying,“It is time to bring the sacred chest that contains the Ten Commandments to Jerusalem.” All the leaders agreed.  \n1 Chronicles 13:1-5  \nThe sacred chest had been in the home of Abinadab for many years since the days when Samuel was prophet. So David took 30,000 men to Abinadab’s home to bring the sacred chest to Jerusalem.  \n2 Samuel 6:1-3; 1 Samuel 7:2;  \n1 Chronicles 13:6  \nDavid and his men placed the sacred chest on anew cart pulled by oxen. Abinadab’s sons, Uzzah and Ahio, guided the cart.  \n2 Samuel 6:3-4; 1 Chronicles 13:7  \nDavid and all the Israelites celebrated before the Lord by playing music, singing songs, and dancing.  \n2 Samuel 6:5; 1 Chronicles 13:8","cbCaiqnfTua8lV6O","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqnfTua8lV6O","pdf",6622258,1,29,"English","en",105,"# Narrative Overview\n## David’s Rule and Jerusalem as David’s City\n## Preparing to Bring the Sacred Chest\n## The Journey and Celebration","[{\"question\":\"Why did King David decide to bring the sacred chest to Jerusalem?\",\"answer\":\"David consulted Israelite leaders and declared it was time to bring the sacred chest containing the Ten Commandments to Jerusalem, and all the leaders agreed.\"},{\"question\":\"Where had the sacred chest been kept before David moved it?\",\"answer\":\"The sacred chest had been in the home of Abinadab for many years since the days when Samuel was a prophet.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the sacred chest transported and how did the people respond?\",\"answer\":\"David and his men placed it on a new cart pulled by oxen, guided by Abinadab’s sons, Uzzah and Ahio.
