Ark of the covenant » At kirjath-jearim twenty years
The people of Kiriath Jearim got the Ark and took it to Abinadab's house on a hill in their town. His son Eleazar took care of it. It stayed there for twenty years. During this this long period of time everyone in Israel was very sad and begged Jehovah for help.
