"We heard of it in Bethlehem

And found it in Jaar." I'm so glad you chose these two places to trace the history of the Ark David seeks. Between the least of all places you would expect. Reading your rendition caused me to seek after Jaar- and seeing a picture of the woods there, and your reference in the final lines to the wooden crown, brought everything together so beautifully. You're almost to the inner Temple, now, with this one. Beautifully written.
