David consulted
with the captains
of thousands
and of hundreds,
even
with
every
leader
.
Then
David conferred
with all
his
leaders,
the commanders
of hundreds
and of thousands
.
David
said to all
the assembly of Israel, If it seem
good to you, and if it
be
of Yahweh
our God, let us send abroad
everywhere
to our brothers who
are
left
in all the land of Israel, with
whom
the priests and Levites are
in their cities that
have
suburbs
, that they may gather
themselves
to
us ;
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
let us bring again
the ark of our God to
us:
for we didn't
seek
it
in the days of Saul.
Then
let us bring back
the ark of our God ,
for we did
not
inquire
of
Him
in the days of Saul. ”
All
the
assembly
said
that
they
would
do
so;
for
the
thing
was
right in
the
eyes
of
all the people.
And
because
this
proposal
seemed
right to
all the people ,
the
whole
assembly
agreed
to
it
.

to Baalah ,
[
that is ]

Kiriath Jearim ,
which
belonged
to
Judah,
to bring up from there the ark of God Yahweh
that
sits
[above]
the cherubim
, that is called by the Name.

the cart.

David and all Israel
played
before God with all their might, even
with songs ,
and with
harps ,
and with
psalteries
, and
with tambourines, and
with
cymbals, and with
trumpets.
David and all the
Israelites
were
celebrating
before God with all their might, with songs and on

, with tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets.
When they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzza
put
forth
his
hand
to
hold the ark ;
for
the oxen stumbled.
When they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzzah
reached
out
and
took
hold of
the ark ,
because

stumbled.
The anger of Yahweh
was
kindled
against Uzza
, and he struck him ,
because he put forth
his hand to
the ark ;
and
there
he died before God.
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.
David was
displeased,
because Yahweh
had broken
forth on
Uzza
; and
he called
that place Perez Uzza
, to this day.
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.
David
was
afraid
of
God
that day ,
saying
, How shall
I bring the ark of God home
to me?
That day David
feared
God
and
asked
, “
How can
I ever
bring the ark of God to me? ”
So David
didn't
move the ark to
him into
the city of David, but
carried
it aside into
the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

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.
The ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house three months :
and Yahweh
blessed
the house
of
Obed-edom,
and all
that
he had
.
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
.
