1 Chronicles 13

1 And he consulted David with [the] commanders of the thousands and the hundreds to every leader.

And David took counsel with the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, [even with] every commander.

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 to the whole congregation of Israel, If it [seem] good to you, and it should be prospered by the Lord our God, let us send to our brethren that are left in all the land of Israel, and let the priests the Levites who are with them in the cities of their possession [come], and let them be gathered to 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 over to us the ark of our God; for men have not enquired [at] it since 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 thus; for the saying 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 assembled all Israel, from the borders of Egypt even to the entering in of Hemath, to bring in the ark of God from the city of Jarim.

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 brought it up: and all Israel went up to the city of David, which belonged to Juda, to bring up thence the ark of the Lord God who sits between the cherubim, 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 set the ark of God on a new waggon [brought] out of the house of Aminadab: and Oza and his brethren drove the waggon.

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 [were] playing before the Lord with all their might, and [that] together with singers, and with harps, and with lutes, 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 they came as far as the threshing floor: and Oza put forth his hand to hold the ark, because the bullock moved it from [its place].

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 Lord was very angry with Oza, and struck him there, because of his stretching forth his hand upon the ark: and he died there 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 dispirited, because the Lord [had] made a breach on Oza: and he called that place the Breach of Oza until 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 feared God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God in to myself?

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 into the city of David, but he turned it aside into the house of Abeddara the Gethite.

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 abode in the house of Abeddara three months: and God blessed Abeddara and all that he had.
