1 Chronicles 13
1 And he consulted David with [the] commanders of the thousands and the hundreds to every leader.
And David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, and with every leader.
2 And he said David to all - [the] assembly of Israel if [is] on you good and from Yahweh God our let us spread out let us send to countrymen our who remain in all [the] lands of Israel and with them the priests and the Levites in [the] cities of pasture lands their so they may gather together to us.
And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, If it seem good unto you, and that it be of Yhwh 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:
3 And let us bring round [the] ark of God our to us for not we sought it in [the] days of Saul.
And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we enquired not at it in the days of Saul.
4 And they said all the assembly to do thus for it was pleasing the matter in [the] eyes of all the people.
And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
5 And he called together David all Israel from Shihor of Egypt and to Lebo Hamath to bring [the] ark of God from Kiriath Jearim.
So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjath–jearim.
6 And he went up David and all Israel Baalah towards to Kiriath Jearim which [belongs] to Judah to bring up from there [the] ark of God - Yahweh [who] sits the cherubim where it is called a name.
And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kirjath–jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God Yhwh, that dwelleth between the cherubims, whose name is called on it.
7 And they made to ride [the] ark of God on a cart new from [the] house of Abinadab and Uzzah and Ahio [were] leading the cart.
And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave the cart.
8 And David and all Israel [were] making merry before God with all strength and with songs and with harps and with lyres and with tambourines and with cymbals and with trumpets.
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.
9 And they came to [the] threshing floor of Kidon and he stretched out Uzzah hand his to grasp the ark for they stumbled the ox[en].
And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.
10 And it burned [the] anger of Yahweh on Uzzah and he struck down him on that he had stretched out hand his on the ark and he died there before God.
And the anger of Yhwh was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God.
11 And it burned to David for he had broken out Yahweh a breaking out against Uzzah and he called the place that Perez Uzzah until the day this.
And David was displeased, because Yhwh had made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perez–uzza to this day.
12 And he feared David God on the day that saying how? will I bring to myself [the] ark of God.
And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God home to me?
13 And not he turned aside David the ark to himself to [the] city of David and he turned aside it to [the] house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.
So David brought not the ark home to himself to the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obed–edom the Gittite.
14 And it remained [the] ark of God with [the] household of Obed-Edom in house his three months and he blessed Yahweh [the] household of Obed-Edom and all that [belonged] to him.
And the ark of God remained with the family of Obed–edom in his house three months. And Yhwh blessed the house of Obed–edom, and all that he had.
