1 Chronicles 13

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

David consulted with the captains of thousands and of hundreds, even 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.

David said to all the assembly of Israel, "If it seems good to you, and if there is a breakthrough from Jehovah our God, let us send abroad everywhere to our brothers who are left in all the land of Israel, with whom the priests and Levites are in their cities that have suburbs, that they may gather themselves 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 again the ark of our God to us. For we did not seek 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.

All the assembly 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 assembled all Israel together, from the Shihor of Egypt even to Lebo Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath 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 Kiriath Jearim, which belongs to Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the name of Jehovah enthroned on the cherubim.

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.

They carried the ark of God on a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drove 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.

David and all Israel played before God with all their might, even with songs, and with harps, and with stringed instruments, and with tambourines, 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].

When they came to the threshing floor of Nodan, 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.

The anger of Jehovah was kindled against Uzza, and he struck him, because he put forth 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.

David was displeased, because Jehovah had broken forth on Uzza; and he called that place 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.

David was afraid of God that day, saying, "How can I bring the ark of God 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 did not move the ark to him into the City of David, but diverted it to 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.

The ark of God remained with the family of Obed-Edom in his house three months: and Jehovah blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that he had.
