13David consulted with the commanders of the thousands and of the hundreds, with every leader.H1732H3289H8269H505H3967H5057 2David said to the whole assembly of Israel, "If it seems good to you, and if it is the will of the LORD our God, let us send abroad to our kindred who remain in all the land of Israel, including the priests and Levites in the cities that have pasture lands, that they may come together to us.H1732H559H6951H3478H2895H3068H430H7971H6555H251H7604H776H3478H3548H3881H5892H4054H6908 3Then let us bring again the ark of our God to us; for we did not turn to it in the days of Saul."H5437H727H430H1875H3117H7586 4The whole assembly agreed to do so, for the thing pleased all the people.H6951H559H6213H1697H3474H5869H5971 5So David assembled all Israel from the Shihor of Egypt to Lebo-hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.H1732H6950H3478H6950H7883H4714H935H2574H935H727H430H7157 6And David and all Israel went up to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath-jearim, which belongs to Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, the LORD, who is enthroned on the cherubim, which is called by his name.H1732H5927H3478H1173H7157H3063H5927H727H430H3068H3427H3742H8034H7121 7They carried the ark of God on a new cart, from the house of Abinadab, and Uzzah and Ahio were driving the cart.H7392H727H430H2319H5699H1004H41H5798H283H5090H5699 8David and all Israel were dancing before God with all their might, with song and lyres and harps and tambourines and cymbals and trumpets.H1732H3478H7832H6440H430H5797H7892H3658H5035H8596H4700H2689 9When they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzzah put out his hand to hold the ark, for the oxen shook it.H935H1637H3592H5798H7971H3027H270H727H1241H8058 10The anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; he struck him down because he put out his hand to the ark; and he died there before God.H639H3068H2734H5798H5221H7971H3027H727H4191H6440H430 11David was angry because the LORD had burst out against Uzzah; so that place is called Perez-uzzah to this day.H1732H2734H3068H6555H6556H5798H4725H7121H6560H3117 12David was afraid of God that day; he said, "How can I bring the ark of God into my care?"H1732H3372H430H3117H559H1963H935H727H430 13So David did not take the ark into his care into the city of David; he took it instead to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.H1732H5493H727H5892H1732H5186H1004H5654H1663 14The ark of God remained with the household of Obed-edom in his house three months, and the LORD blessed the household of Obed-edom and all that he had.H727H430H3427H1004H5654H1004H7969H2320H3068H1288H1004H5654
