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 rulers of thousands and hundreds, even with every chief ruler.

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 all the convocation of Israel, If, unto you, it seemeth to be good, and from Yahweh our God, we will urgently send unto our brethren who remain in all the lands of Israel, and, with them, the priests and the Levites in their pasture-land cities, —that they may gather together 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 round the ark of our God, unto us, —For they sought it not, 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.

Than said all the convocation, that it should be done thus, —for right was the thing, 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 convoked all Israel, from Shihor of Egypt, even unto the entering in of 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, unto Kiriath-jearim, which pertaineth to Judah, —to bring up from thence, the ark of God—Yahweh who inhabiteth the cherubim, on which is called the Name.

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, upon a new waggon, out of the house of Aminadab, —and, Uzza and Ahio, were driving 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 dancing for joy before God, with all boldness, and with songs and with lyres, and with harps 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 as far as the threshing-floor of Chidon, Uzza thrust forth his hand, to seize the ark, for the oxen were restive.

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.

Then was kindled the anger of Yahweh against Uzza, and he smote him, because he thrust forth his hand unto 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 it was a sadness unto David, that Yahweh had broken in with a breach against Uzza, —and he called that place Perez-uzza, [as it is called] unto 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, on that day, saying, —How can I bring unto me, the ark of God?

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 removed not the ark unto him, into the city of David, —but took 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 household of Obed-edom, in his house, three months, —and Yahweh blessed the household of Obed-edom, and all that he had.
