2. किर्यत्यारीम में रहते रहते सन्दूक को बहुत दिन हुए, अर्थात् बीस वर्ष बीत गए, और इस्राएल का सारा घराना विलाप करता हुआ यहोवा के पीछे चलने लगा।
2. And the ark remained in Kiriath-jearim a very long time [nearly 100 years, through Samuel's entire judgeship, Saul's reign, and well into David's, when it was brought to Jerusalem]. For it was twenty years before all the house of Israel lamented after the Lord. [I Chron. 13:5-7.]
