1 And he gathered again David every chosen [man] in Israel thirty thousand.

And David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.

2 And he arose - and he went David and all the people which [was] with him from Baalah of Judah to bring up from there [the] ark of God which it is called [the] name [the] name of Yahweh of hosts [who] sits the cherubim on it.

And David arose, and went with all the people who were with him to Baalah, that is, Kiriath Jearim of Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called there by the name of Jehovah enthroned on the cherubim.

3 And they made to ride [the] ark of God to a cart a new and they carried it from [the] house of Abinadab which [was] on the hill and Uzzah and Ahio [the] sons of Abinadab [were] leading the cart new.

And they set the ark of God on a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was on the hill. And Uzza and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, guided the cart

4 And they carried it from [the] house of Abinadab which [was] on the hill with [the] ark of God and Ahio [was] walking before the ark.

with the ark; and Ahio was walking in front of the ark.

5 And David - and all [the] house of Israel [were] playing before Yahweh on all wood of fir trees and on harps and on lyres and on tambourines and on rattles and on cymbals.

And David and the children of Israel played before Jehovah with all their strength and with songs, and with harps, and with stringed instruments, and with tambourines, and with castanets, and with cymbals.

6 And they came to [the] threshing floor of Nacon and he stretched out Uzzah to [the] ark of God and he took hold on it for they had stumbled the ox[en].

And when they came to the threshing floor of Nodan, Uzza reached out his hand to the ark of God, to steady it; for the oxen stumbled.

7 And it burned [the] anger of Yahweh on Uzzah and he struck down him there God on the presumption and he died there beside [the] ark of God.

And Jehovah became angry at Uzza; and God struck him there for his error; and there he died before God.

8 And it burned to David on that he had broken out Yahweh a breaking out against Uzzah and someone called the place that Perez Uzzah until the day this.

And David was displeased, because Jehovah had broken forth on Uzza; and he called that place Perez Uzza, to this day.

9 And he feared David Yahweh on the day that and he said how? will it come to me [the] ark of Yahweh.

And David was afraid of Jehovah that day; and he said, "How can the ark of God come to me?" Now the ark of Jehovah arrived,

10 And not he was willing David to turn aside to himself [the] ark of Yahweh to [the] city of David and he turned aside it David [the] house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.

but David was not willing to move the ark of Jehovah with him to the City of David; so David diverted it to the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.

11 And it remained [the] ark of Yahweh [the] house of Obed-Edom the Gittite three months and he blessed Yahweh Obed-Edom and all household his.

And the ark of Jehovah remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite three months, and Jehovah blessed Obed-Edom and all his house.

12 And it was told to the king David saying he has blessed Yahweh [the] household of Obed-Edom and all that [belongs] to him for sake of [the] ark of God and he went David and he brought up [the] ark of God from [the] house of Obed-Edom [the] city of David with rejoicing.

And it was told king David, saying, "Jehovah has blessed the house of Obed-Edom and all that belongs to him because of the ark of God." And David said, "I will bring back the blessing to my house." And David went and brought up the ark of Jehovah from the house of Obed-Edom into the City of David with joy.

13 And it was that they had stepped [the] bearers of [the] ark of Yahweh six steps and he sacrificed an ox and a fatling.

And it was so, that, when those who bore the ark had gone six steps, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.

14 And David [was] dancing with all strength before Yahweh and David [was] girded an ephod of linen.

And David danced before Jehovah with all his might; and he was clothed in a linen ephod.

15 And David and all [the] house of Israel [were] bringing up [the] ark of Yahweh with shouting and with [the] sound of a trumpet.

And David and all Israel brought up the ark of Jehovah with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.

16 And it was [the] ark of Yahweh coming [the] city of David and Michal [the] daughter of Saul she looked down - through the window and she saw the king David leaping and dancing before Yahweh and she despised him in heart her.

Now, as the ark entered the City of David, Mikal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before Jehovah; and she despised him in her heart.

17 And they brought [the] ark of Yahweh and they set it in place its in [the] midst of the tent which he had pitched for it David and he offered up David burnt offerings before Yahweh and peace offerings.

And they brought in the ark of Jehovah, and set it in its place, in the midst of the tent that David had set up for it; and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before Jehovah.

18 And he finished David from offering up the burnt offering and the peace offerings and he blessed the people in [the] name of Yahweh of hosts.

And when David had made an end of offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Jehovah of hosts.

19 And he distributed to all the people to all [the] multitude of Israel to from a man and unto a woman to each a cake of bread one and a date-cake one and a raisin-cake one and it went all the people each to own house his.

And he gave to all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, both to men and women, to everyone a portion of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake. So all the people departed everyone to his house.

20 And he returned David to bless household his and she came out Michal [the] daughter of Saul to meet David and she said how! he has honored himself this day [the] king of Israel who he has uncovered himself this day to [the] eyes of [the] maidservants of servants his as uncovers himself shamelessly one of the worthless [men].

And then David returned to bless his household. Mikal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David. And she greeted him, and said, "How glorious the king of Israel was today, who uncovered himself today in the eyes of the servants of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovers himself."

21 And he said David to Michal before Yahweh who he chose me more than father your and more than all household his to appoint me ruler over [the] people of Yahweh over Israel and I will play before Yahweh.

And David said to Mikal, "I was dancing before Jehovah. Blessed be Jehovah, who chose me above your father, and above all his house, to appoint me prince over his people Israel; therefore I will celebrate before Jehovah.

22 And I will demean myself still more than this and I will be lowly in own eyes my and with the maidservants whom you have said with them I will be honored.

And I will be yet more vile than this, and will be lowly in your eyes. But of the servants of whom you have spoken, they shall honor me."

23 And to Michal [the] daughter of Saul not it belonged to her a child until [the] day of death her.

And Mikal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.
