And David
consulted
with the captains
of thousands
and hundreds,
and with every leader.
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:
say
And let us bring again
the ark
of our God
to us: for we enquired
not at it in the days
of Saul.
And all the congregation
said
that they would do so:
for the thing
was right
in the eyes
of all the people.
So David
gathered
all Israel
together,
from Shihor
of Egypt
even unto the entering
of Hemath,
to bring
the ark
of God
from Kirjathjearim.

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 cherubims,
whose name
is called
on it.
And they carried
the ark
of God
in a new
cart
out of the house
of Abinadab:
and Uzza
and Ahio
drave
the cart.
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.

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
was kindled
against Uzza,
and he smote
him, because he put
his hand
to the ark:
and there he died
before
God.

And David
was displeased,
because the LORD
had made
a breach
upon Uzza:
wherefore that place
is called
Perezuzza
to this day.
And David
was afraid
of God
that day,
saying,
How
shall I bring
the ark
of God
home to me?
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.
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.
