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

Now 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.

David arose and went with all his men who were with him from Baalah in Judah to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the name of Yahweh of hosts, who sits enthroned over 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.

They set the ark of God on a new cart. They brought it out of Abinadab's house, which was on a hill. Uzzah and Ahio, his sons, were guiding the new 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.

They brought the cart out of Abinadab's house on the hill with the ark of God on it. 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.

Then David and all the house of Israel began to play before Yahweh, celebrating with wooden instruments, harps, lyres, tambourines, rattles, and 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].

When they came to the threshing floor of Nakon, the oxen stumbled, and Uzzah reached out with his hand to grab the ark of God, and he took hold of it.

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.

Then the anger of Yahweh burned against Uzzah. God attacked him there for his sin. Uzzah died there by the ark of 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.

David was angry because Yahweh had attacked Uzzah, and he called the name of that place Perez Uzzah. That place is called 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.

David was afraid of Yahweh that day. He said, “How can the ark of Yahweh come to me?”

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.

So David was not willing to take the ark of Yahweh with him into the city of David. Instead, he put it aside in 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.

The ark of Yahweh remained in the house of Obed Edom the Gittite for three months. So Yahweh blessed him and all his household.

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.

Now King David was told, “Yahweh has blessed Obed Edom's house and everything that belongs to him because of the ark of God.” So David went and brought up the ark of God from Obed Edom's house to 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.

When those who were carrying the ark of Yahweh 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.

David danced before Yahweh with all his might; he was wearing only 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.

So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of Yahweh with shouting and the sound of trumpets.

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 of Yahweh came into the city of David, Michal, daughter of Saul, looked out the window. She saw King David leaping and dancing before Yahweh. Then 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.

They brought in the ark of Yahweh and put it in its place, in the middle of the tent that David had set up for it. Then David offered burnt offerings and fellowship offerings before Yahweh.

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.

When David had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and the fellowship offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Yahweh 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.

Then he distributed among all the people, the whole multitude of Israel, both to men and women, a loaf of bread, a portion of meat, and a cake of raisins. Then all the people left; each one returned to his own 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].

Then David returned to bless his family. Michal, the daughter of Saul, came out to meet David and said, “How honored the king of Israel was today, who undressed himself today before the eyes of the slave girls among his servants, like one of the crude fellows who shamelessly undresses 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.

David responded to Michal, “I did that before Yahweh, who chose me above your father and above all his family, who appointed me leader over the people of Yahweh, over Israel. Before Yahweh I will be joyful!

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.

I will be even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes. But by these slave girls you have spoken about, I will be honored.”

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

So Michal, the daughter of Saul, had no children to the day of her death.
