2 And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjathjearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD.
2 Ikawa, tangu siku hiyo ambayo sanduku lilikaa Kiriath-yearimu wakati ulikuwa mwingi; kwa maana ulikuwa miaka ishirini; na nyumba yote ya Israeli wakamwombolezea Bwana.
