1
And DavidH1732 consultedH3289 with the captainsH8269 of thousandsH505 and hundreds,H3967 and with everyH3605 leader.H5057
2
And DavidH1732 saidH559 to allH3605 the congregationH6951 of Israel,H3478 IfH518 it seem goodH2895 to you, and that it be of the LORDH3068 our God,H430 let us sendH7971 abroadH6555 to our brothersH251 every where, that are leftH7604 in allH3605 the landH776 of Israel,H3478 and with them also to the priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881 which are in their citiesH5892 and suburbs,H4054 that they may gatherH6908 themselves to us:
3
And let us bringH5437 againH5437 the arkH727 of our GodH430 to us: for we inquiredH1875 not atH5921 it in the daysH3117 of Saul.H7586
4
And allH3605 the congregationH6951 saidH559 that they would doH6213 so:H3651 for the thingH1697 was rightH3477 in the eyesH5869 of allH3605 the people.H5971
5
So DavidH1732 gatheredH6950 allH3605 IsraelH3478 together, from ShihorH7883 of EgyptH4714 even to the enteringH935 of Hemath,H2574 to bringH935 the arkH727 of GodH430 from Kirjathjearim.H7157
6
And DavidH1732 wentH5927 up, and allH3605 Israel,H3478 to Baalah,H1173 that is, to Kirjathjearim,H7157 whichH834 belonged to Judah,H3063 to bringH5927 up thereH8033 the arkH727 of GodH430 the LORD,H3068 that dwellsH3427 between the cherubim,H3742 whoseH834 nameH8034 is calledH7121 on it.
7
And they carriedH7392 the arkH727 of GodH430 in a newH2319 cartH5699 out of the houseH1004 of Abinadab:H41 and UzzaH5798 and AhioH283 droveH5090 the cart.H5699
8
And DavidH1732 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 playedH7832 beforeH6440 GodH430 with allH3605 their might,H5797 and with singing,H7892 and with harps,H3658 and with psalteries,H5035 and with tambourines,H8596 and with cymbals,H4700 and with trumpets.H2689
9
And when they cameH935 to the threshing floorH1637 of Chidon,H3592 UzzaH5798 putH7971 forthH7971 his handH3027 to holdH270 the ark;H727 for the oxenH1241 stumbled.H8058
10
And the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 against Uzza,H5798 and he smoteH5221 him, becauseH5921 H834 he putH7971 his handH3027 to the ark:H727 and thereH8033 he diedH4191 beforeH6440 God.H430
11
And DavidH1732 was displeased,H2734 becauseH3588 the LORDH3068 had madeH5414 a breachH6556 on Uzza:H5798 why that placeH4725 is calledH7121 PerezuzzaH6560 to thisH2088 day.H3117
12
And DavidH1732 was afraidH3372 of GodH430 that day,H3117 saying,H559 HowH1963 shall I bringH935 the arkH727 of GodH430 home to me?
13
So DavidH1732 broughtH5493 not the arkH727 home to himself to the cityH5892 of David,H1732 but carriedH5186 it asideH5186 intoH413 the houseH1004 of ObededomH5654 the Gittite.H1663
14
And the arkH727 of GodH430 remainedH3427 with the familyH1004 of ObededomH5654 in his houseH1004 threeH7969 months.H2320 And the LORDH3068 blessedH1288 the houseH1004 of Obededom,H5654 and allH3605 that he had.
