2 And David arose and went, with all the people that were with him of the men of Juda to fetch the ark of God, upon which the name of the Lord of Hosts is invoked, who sitteth over it upon the cherubims.
Douay–Rheims · Challoner revision · 2 Kings 6:2

David sets out to bring the Ark, associated with the Lord’s name and presence. Its journey provides a narrative background for traditional comparison with Mary’s visit to Elizabeth.
