1 Samuel 7:1-2 -- "And the men of Kirjath–jearim came, and fetched up the ark of Yahweh, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of Yahweh. And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjath–jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after Yahweh."
These verses 1 and 2 of chapter 7 probably belong at the end of chapter 6, as they tell us that the ark was removed from Bethshemesh and brought to the house of Abinadab. After a period of continual moving and relocation, the ark finally rests in Kirjath-jearim.
It appears that the next time the ark is moved is after Saul's death, when David is king, according to 2 Samuel 6. Is this correct? Does the Gibeah of 2 Samuel 6:3 correspond to the same location in 1 Samuel 7?
2 Samuel 6:2-3 -- "And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him from Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of Elohim, whose name is called by the name of Yahweh or armies that dwelleth between the cherubims. And they set the ark of Elohim upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart."
