And David <H1732> consulted <H3289> with the captains <H8269> of thousands <H0505> and hundreds, <H3967> [and] with every leader. <H5057>
2
And David <H1732> said <H0559> unto all the congregation <H6951> of Israel, <H3478> If [it seem] good <H2895> unto you, and [that it be] of the LORD <H3068> our God, <H0430> let us send <H7971> abroad <H6555> unto our brethren <H0251> every where, [that are] left <H7604> in all the land <H0776> of Israel, <H3478> and with them [also] to the priests <H3548> and Levites <H3881> [which are] in their cities <H5892> [and] suburbs, <H4054> that they may gather <H6908> themselves unto us:
3
And let us bring again <H5437> the ark <H0727> of our God <H0430> to us: for we enquired <H1875> not at it in the days <H3117> of Saul. <H7586>
4
And all the congregation <H6951> said <H0559> that they would do <H6213> so: for the thing <H1697> was right <H3474> in the eyes <H5869> of all the people. <H5971>
5
So David <H1732> gathered all Israel <H3478> together, <H6950> from Shihor <H7883> of Egypt <H4714> even unto the entering <H0935> of Hemath, <H2574> to bring <H0935> the ark <H0727> of God <H0430> from Kirjathjearim. <H7157>
6
And David <H1732> went up, <H5927> and all Israel, <H3478> to Baalah, <H1173> [that is], to Kirjathjearim, <H7157> which [belonged] to Judah, <H3063> to bring up <H5927> thence the ark <H0727> of God <H0430> the LORD, <H3068> that dwelleth <H3427> [between] the cherubims, <H3742> whose name <H8034> is called <H7121> [on it].
7
And they carried <H7392> the ark <H0727> of God <H0430> in a new <H2319> cart <H5699> out of the house <H1004> of Abinadab: <H0041> and Uzza <H5798> and Ahio <H0283> drave <H5090> the cart. <H5699>
8
And David <H1732> and all Israel <H3478> played <H7832> before <H6440> God <H0430> with all [their] might, <H5797> and with singing, <H7892> and with harps, <H3658> and with psalteries, <H5035> and with timbrels, <H8596> and with cymbals, <H4700> and with trumpets. <H2689>
9
And when they came <H0935> unto the threshingfloor <H1637> of Chidon, <H3592> Uzza <H5798> put forth <H7971> his hand <H3027> to hold <H0270> the ark; <H0727> for the oxen <H1241> stumbled. <H8058>
10
And the anger <H0639> of the LORD <H3068> was kindled <H2734> against Uzza, <H5798> and he smote <H5221> him, because he put <H7971> his hand <H3027> to the ark: <H0727> and there he died <H4191> before <H6440> God. <H0430>
11
And David <H1732> was displeased, <H2734> because the LORD <H3068> had made <H6555> a breach <H6556> upon Uzza: <H5798> wherefore that place <H4725> is called <H7121> Perezuzza <H6560> to this day. <H3117>
12
And David <H1732> was afraid <H3372> of God <H0430> that day, <H3117> saying, <H0559> How <H1963> shall I bring <H0935> the ark <H0727> of God <H0430> [home] to me?
13
So David <H1732> brought <H5493> not the ark <H0727> [home] to himself to the city <H5892> of David, <H1732> but carried it aside <H5186> into the house <H1004> of Obededom <H5654> the Gittite. <H1663>
14
And the ark <H0727> of God <H0430> remained <H3427> with the family <H1004> of Obededom <H5654> in his house <H1004> three <H7969> months. <H2320> And the LORD <H3068> blessed <H1288> the house <H1004> of Obededom, <H5654> and all that he had.
