13Then David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, and with every leader.H1732H3289H8269H505H3967H50572And David said to all the assembly of Israel, "If it seems good to you, and if it is of the LORD our God, let us send out to our brethren everywhere who are left in all the land of Israel, and with them to the priests and Levites who are in their cities and their common-lands, that they may gather together to us;H1732H559H6951H3478H2895H3068H430H7971H6555H251H7604H776H3478H3548H3881H5892H4054H69083"and let us bring the ark of our God back to us, for we have not inquired at it since the days of Saul."H5437H727H430H1875H3117H75864Then all the assembly said that they would do so, for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.H6951H559H6213H1697H3474H5869H59715So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor in Egypt to as far as the entrance of Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjath Jearim.H1732H6950H3478H6950H7883H4714H935H2574H935H727H430H71576And David and all Israel went up to Baalah, to Kirjath Jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God the LORD, who dwells between the cherubim, where His name is proclaimed.H1732H5927H3478H1173H7157H3063H5927H727H430H3068H3427H3742H8034H71217So they carried the ark of God on a new cart from the house of Abinadab, and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart.H7392H727H430H2319H5699H1004H41H5798H283H5090H56998Then David and all Israel played music before God with all their might, with singing, on harps, on stringed instruments, on tambourines, on cymbals, and with trumpets.H1732H3478H7832H6440H430H5797H7892H3658H5035H8596H4700H26899And when they came to Chidon's threshing floor, Uzza put out his hand to hold the ark, for the oxen stumbled.H935H1637H3592H5798H7971H3027H270H727H1241H805810Then the anger of the LORD was aroused against Uzza, and He struck him because he put his hand to the ark; and he died there before God.H639H3068H2734H5798H5221H7971H3027H727H4191H6440H43011And David became angry because of the LORD'S outbreak against Uzza; therefore that place is called Perez Uzza to this day.H1732H2734H3068H6555H6556H5798H4725H7121H6560H311712David was afraid of God that day, saying, "How can I bring the ark of God to me?"H1732H3372H430H3117H559H1963H935H727H43013So David would not move the ark with him into the City of David, but took it aside into the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.H1732H5493H727H5892H1732H5186H1004H5654H166314The ark of God remained with the family of Obed-Edom in his house three months. And the LORD blessed the house of Obed-Edom and all that he had.H727H430H3427H1004H5654H1004H7969H2320H3068H1288H1004H5654
