Exegesis
The infinitive lehavi {לְהָבִיא֙ | ləḥāvîʼ} functions as a purpose clause for transporting et aron haelohim {אֶת־אֲר֣וֹן הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים | ’et ’ărōn hāʼĕlōhîm}, the sacred chest, and the construct miqqiryat yearim {מִקִּרְיַ֖ת יְעָרִֽים׃ | miqqiryāṯ yəʿārîm} identifies its origin at Kiriath Jearim. This structure—vav-consecutive narrative, infinitive purpose clause, and construct chain—has been translated to preserve sequence, purpose, and emphasis on divine provision.
In context — 1 Chronicles 13:5
So David assembled all Israel, from the Shihor of Egypt to Lebo Hamath, in order to bring the ark of God from Kiriath Jearim.
