1
And
David
consulted
with
the
captains
of
thousands
and
hundreds,
[and]
with
every
leader.
2
And
David
said
unto
all
the
congregation
of
Israel,
If
[it
seem]
good
unto
you,
and
[that
it
be]
of
the
LORD
our
God,
let
us
send
abroad
unto
our
brethren
every
where,
[that
are]
left
in
all
the
land
of
Israel,
and
with
them
[also]
to
the
priests
and
Levites
[which
are]
in
their
cities
[and]
suburbs,
that
they
may
gather
themselves
unto
3
And
let
us
bring
again
the
ark
of
our
God
to
us:
for
we
enquired
not
at
it
in
the
days
of
Saul.
4
And
all
the
congregation
said
that
they
would
do
so:
for
the
thing
was
right
in
the
eyes
of
all
the
people.
5
So
David
gathered
all
Israel
together,
from
Shihor
of
Egypt
even
unto
the
entering
of
Hemath,
to
bring
the
ark
of
God
from
Kirjathjearim.
6
And
David
went
up,
and
all
Israel,
to
Baalah,
[that
is],
to
Kirjathjearim,
which
[belonged]
to
Judah,
to
bring
up
thence
the
ark
of
God
the
LORD,
that
dwelleth
[between]
the
cherubims,
whose
name
is
called
[on
it].
7
And
they
carried
the
ark
of
God
in
a
new
cart
out
of
the
house
of
Abinadab:
and
Uzza
and
Ahio
drave
the
cart.
8
And
David
and
all
Israel
played
before
God
with
all
[their]
might,
and
with
singing,
and
with
harps,
and
with
psalteries,
and
with
timbrels,
and
with
cymbals,
and
with
trumpets.
9
And
when
they
came
unto
the
threshingfloor
of
Chidon,
Uzza
put
forth
his
hand
to
hold
the
ark;
for
the
oxen
stumbled.
10
And
the
anger
of
the
LORD
was
kindled
against
Uzza,
and
he
smote
him,
because
he
put
his
hand
to
the
ark:
and
there
he
died
before
God.
11
And
David
was
displeased,
because
the
LORD
had
made
a
breach
upon
Uzza:
wherefore
that
place
is
called
Perezuzza
to
this
day.
12
And
David
was
afraid
of
God
that
day,
saying,
How
shall
I
bring
the
ark
of
God
[home]
to
13
So
David
brought
not
the
ark
[home]
to
himself
to
the
city
of
David,
but
carried
it
aside
into
the
house
of
Obededom
the
Gittite.
14
And
the
ark
of
God
remained
with
the
family
of
Obededom
in
his
house
three
months.
And
the
LORD
blessed
the
house
of
Obededom,
and
all
that
he
had.
