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.

Verse 2 is found in chapter 7 of 1 Samuel. The ark remains at Kiriath-jearim while Samuel calls Israel to repentance. The prophet demands that they abandon the Baals and Ashtoreths and direct their hearts exclusively to the Lord. The act of drawing and pouring out water before God accompanies confession of sin and renewal of national commitment. The scene shows that Israel’s restoration does not begin with military strategy, but with spiritual transformation. Samuel functions here as prophet and judge, gathering the people to renew their relationship with God.
