[1]And DavidH1732 consultedH3289[H8735] with the captainsH8269 of thousandsH505 and hundredsH3967, and with every leaderH5057.
[2]And DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799] unto all the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478, If it seem goodH2895[H8804] unto you, and that it be of the LORDH3068 our GodH430, let us sendH7971[H8799] abroadH6555[H8799] unto our brethrenH251 every where, that are leftH7604[H8737] in all the landH776 of IsraelH3478, and with them also to the priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881 which are in their citiesH5892 and suburbsH4054, that they may gatherH6908 themselves unto usH8735:
[3]And let us bring againH5437[H8686] the arkH727 of our GodH430 to us: for we enquiredH1875[H8804] not at it in the daysH3117 of SaulH7586.
[4]And all the congregationH6951 saidH559[H8799] that they would do soH6213[H8800]: for the thingH1697 was rightH3474[H8804] in the eyesH5869 of all the peopleH5971.
[5]So DavidH1732 gatheredH6950 all IsraelH3478 togetherH6950[H8686], from ShihorH7883 of EgyptH4714 even unto the enteringH935[H8800] of HemathH2574, to bringH935[H8687] the arkH727 of GodH430 from KirjathjearimH7157.
[6]And DavidH1732 went upH5927[H8799], and all IsraelH3478, to BaalahH1173, that is, to KirjathjearimH7157, which belonged to JudahH3063, to bring upH5927[H8687] thence the arkH727 of GodH430 the LORDH3068, that dwellethH3427[H8802] between the cherubimsH3742, whose nameH8034 is calledH7121 on itH8738.
[7]And they carriedH7392[H8686] the arkH727 of GodH430 in a newH2319 cartH5699 out of the houseH1004 of AbinadabH41: and UzzaH5798 and AhioH283 draveH5090[H8802] the cartH5699.
[8]And DavidH1732 and all IsraelH3478 playedH7832[H8764] beforeH6440 GodH430 with all their mightH5797, and with singingH7892, and with harpsH3658, and with psalteriesH5035, and with timbrelsH8596, and with cymbalsH4700, and with trumpetsH2689.
[9]And when they cameH935[H8799] unto the threshingfloorH1637 of ChidonH3592, UzzaH5798 put forthH7971[H8799] his handH3027 to holdH270[H8800] the arkH727; for the oxenH1241 stumbledH8058.[H8804]
[10]And the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734[H8799] against UzzaH5798, and he smoteH5221[H8686] him, because he putH7971[H8804] his handH3027 to the arkH727: and there he diedH4191[H8799] beforeH6440 GodH430.
[11]And DavidH1732 was displeasedH2734[H8799], because the LORDH3068 had madeH6555[H8804] a breachH6556 upon UzzaH5798: wherefore that placeH4725 is calledH7121[H8799] PerezuzzaH6560 to this dayH3117.
[12]And DavidH1732 was afraidH3372[H8799] of GodH430 that dayH3117, sayingH559[H8800], HowH1963 shall I bringH935[H8686] the arkH727 of God home to meH430?
[13]So DavidH1732 broughtH5493[H8689] not the arkH727 home to himself to the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, but carried it asideH5186[H8686] into the houseH1004 of ObededomH5654 the GittiteH1663.
[14]And the arkH727 of GodH430 remainedH3427[H8799] with the familyH1004 of ObededomH5654 in his houseH1004 threeH7969 monthsH2320. And the LORDH3068 blessedH1288[H8762] the houseH1004 of Obededom, and all that he hadH5654.
