1 Chronicles 13:3
New Living Translation (NLT)
3 It is time to bring back the Ark of our God, for we neglected it during the reign of Saul.”
The ark of God had been in Kiriath Jearim for many years. The neglect of the ark symbolized Israel's neglect for God. Bringing the ark back to the center of Israel's life reflected David's desire to remind the nation of its true foundation - God. Neglecting those things that remind us of God - the Bible, the Church, and contact with Christians - will cause us also to neglect God. We must keep God at the center of our lives.
