1 And David 1732 consulted 3289 with the captains 8269 of thousands 505 and hundreds 3967, and with every leader 5057.
2 And David 1732 said 559 unto all the congregation 6951 of Israel 3478, If it seem good 2895 unto you, and that it be of the LORD 3068 our God 430, let us send 7971 abroad 6555 unto our brethren 251 every where, that are left 7604 in all the land 776 of Israel 3478, and with them also to the priests 3548 and Levites 3881 which are in their cities 5892 and suburbs 4054, that they may gather 6908 themselves unto us:
3 And let us bring again 5437 the ark 727 of our God 430 to us: for we enquired 1875 not at it in the days 3117 of Saul 7586.
4 And all the congregation 6951 said 559 that they would do so 6213: for the thing 1697 was right 3474 in the eyes 5869 of all the people 5971.
5 So David 1732 gathered 6950 0 all Israel 3478 together 6950, from Shihor 7883 of Egypt 4714 even unto the entering 935 of Hemath 2574, to bring 935 the ark 727 of God 430 from Kirjathjearim 7157.
6 And David 1732 went up 5927, and all Israel 3478, to Baalah 1173, that is, to Kirjathjearim 7157, which belonged to Judah 3063, to bring up 5927 thence the ark 727 of God 430 the LORD 3068, that dwelleth 3427 between the cherubims 3742, whose name 8034 is called 7121 on it.
7 And they carried 7392 the ark 727 of God 430 in a new 2319 cart 5699 out of the house 1004 of Abinadab 41: and Uzza 5798 and Ahio 283 drave 5090 the cart 5699.
8 And David 1732 and all Israel 3478 played 7832 before 6440 God 430 with all their might 5797, and with singing 7892, and with harps 3658, and with psalteries 5035, and with timbrels 8596, and with cymbals 4700, and with trumpets 2689.
9 And when they came 935 unto the threshingfloor 1637 of Chidon 3592, Uzza 5798 put forth 7971 his hand 3027 to hold 270 the ark 727; for the oxen 1241 stumbled 8058.
10 And the anger 639 of the LORD 3068 was kindled 2734 against Uzza 5798, and he smote 5221 him, because he put 7971 his hand 3027 to the ark 727: and there he died 4191 before 6440 God 430.
11 And David 1732 was displeased 2734, because the LORD 3068 had made 6555 a breach 6556 upon Uzza 5798: wherefore that place 4725 is called 7121 Perezuzza 6560 to this day 3117.
12 And David 1732 was afraid 3372 of God 430 that day 3117, saying 559, How 1963 shall I bring 935 the ark 727 of God 430 home to me?
13 So David 1732 brought 5493 not the ark 727 home to himself to the city 5892 of David 1732, but carried it aside 5186 into the house 1004 of Obededom 5654 the Gittite 1663.
14 And the ark 727 of God 430 remained 3427 with the family 1004 of Obededom 5654 in his house 1004 three 7969 months 2320. And the LORD 3068 blessed 1288 the house 1004 of Obededom 5654, and all that he had.
