YHWH
The personal name of the God of Israel, written in Hebrew with four letters, Y-H-W-H, without vowels. Out of reverence Jews stopped pronouncing it and read "Adonai" (Lord), so many Bibles put "the LORD" or "Jehovah". This translation keeps the four letters. The name is related to the verb "to be" (Exodus 3:14-15). He is not a god other than Elohim: "YHWH Elohim" is the same Creator God, called by his name.

The context
26And to Abiathar the priest the king said, “Go to Anathoth, to your fields, for you deserve death; but on this day I will not put you to death, because you carried the ark of Adonai YHWH before David my father, and because you were afflicted in all that my father was afflicted.”
