1 Sam 7:1-2 says that the ark of covenant was brought to Abinadab's house and that it stayed there for 20 years. This was before Saul was made king (1 Sam 10:24). But according to 2 Sam 6:2-3, David removed the ark from Abinadab's house. And Acts 13:21 says that Saul (David's predecessor) was king for 40 years. So the ark must have been at Abinadab's house for more than 40 years. Is there a contradiction?
