Then
David conferred
with all
his
leaders,
the commanders
of hundreds and of
thousands
.
And
David consulted
with the captains
of thousands
and
hundreds ,
and with
every
leader
.
And he
said to
the whole
assembly
of Israel, “
If it seems
good to
you, and if
this
is
of the LORD our God, let us send word
far
and
wide
to
the
rest
of
our brothers
in all the land of Israel, and also to the priests and Levites in their cities and pasturelands
, so
that they may join
us .
And David
said unto
all
the congregation
of Israel, If it seem
good unto
you, and that
it
be
of the LORD our God, let us send abroad
unto
our brethren
every
where,
that
are
left
in all the land of Israel, and with
them
also to the priests and Levites which
are
in their cities and suburbs
, that they may gather
themselves
unto
us :
Then
let us bring back
the ark of our God ,
for we did
not inquire
of
Him
in the days of Saul. ”
And
let us bring again
the ark of our God to
us:
for we inquired
not at
it
in the days of Saul.
And because
this
proposal
seemed
right to
all the people ,
the
whole
assembly
agreed
to
it
.
And all
the
congregation
said
that
they
would
do
so:
for
the
thing
was
right in
the
eyes
of
all the people.
So David assembled
all Israel, from the
River
Shihor in
Egypt to
Lebo-hamath
, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim
.
So David gathered
all Israel together
, from Shihor of
Egypt even
unto
the
entering
of
Hemath
, to bring the ark of God from Kirjathjearim
.
David and all Israel went
up
to Baalah of
Judah
(
that is, Kiriath-jearim)
to bring up from
there
the ark of God the LORD, who
is
enthroned
between the cherubim —the
ark
that
is called by
the
Name
.
And
David went
up,
and all Israel ,
to Baalah ,
that is, to Kirjathjearim,
which
belonged
to
Judah,
to
bring up thence
the ark of God the LORD, that
dwelleth
between the cherubim ,
whose
name
is called on
it
.
So
they carried the ark of God from
the house of Abinadab on
a
new
cart,
with
Uzzah
and Ahio guiding
the cart.
And
they carried the ark of God in
a
new
cart
out
of
the house of Abinadab :
and Uzza
and
Ahio drave
the cart.
David and all the
Israelites
were
celebrating
before God with all their might, with songs
and on
harps and lyres
, with tambourines
, cymbals, and trumpets.
And
David and all Israel
played
before God with all their might, and
with singing,
and with
harps ,
and with
psalteries
, and
with timbrels
, and
with
cymbals, and with
trumpets.
When they came to
the threshing
floor
of Chidon, Uzzah
reached
out
and
took
hold of
the ark ,
because
the oxen had
stumbled.
And
when they came unto
the threshingfloor
of Chidon, Uzza
put
forth
his
hand
to
hold the ark ;
for
the oxen stumbled.
And the anger of the LORD burned
against Uzzah
, and He struck
him down
because he had
put his hand on
the ark .
So
he died there
before God.
And the anger of the LORD was
kindled
against Uzza
, and he smote
him ,
because he put his hand to
the ark :
and
there
he died before God.
Then
David became
angry
because the LORD had burst
forth
against
Uzzah;
so
he
named
that place Perez-uzzah,
as
it
is called to this day.
And
David was
displeased,
because the LORD had made
a
breach
upon
Uzza:
wherefore
that place is called Perezuzza
to this day.
That
day
David feared
God and
asked
, “
How can
I ever
bring the ark of God to me? ”
And
David was
afraid
of
God that
day
, saying,
How shall
I bring the ark of God home
to me?
So he
did
not move
the ark with
him
to the City of David ;
instead
, he
took
it aside to
the house of Obed-edom
the Gittite.
So David
brought
not the ark home
to himself
to
the city of David, but
carried
it aside into
the house of Obededom
the Gittite.
Thus
the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom
in his house for
three months ,
and the LORD blessed his
household
and everything
he owned
.
And
the ark of God remained with the family of Obededom
in his house three months .
And the LORD blessed the
house
of
Obededom,
and all
that
he had
.
