The Ark Brought to Jerusalem

6Again David gathered all the choice men of Israel, thirty thousand.H1732H622H3254H977H3478H7970H505 2And David arose and went with all the people who were with him from Baale Judah to bring up from there the ark of God, whose name is called by the Name, the LORD of Hosts, who dwells between the cherubim.H1732H6965H3212H5971H1184H5927H727H430H8034H7121H8034H3068H6635H3427H3742 3So they set the ark of God on a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill; and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.H7392H727H430H2319H5699H5375H1004H41H1390H5798H283H1121H41H5090H2319H5699 4And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill, accompanying the ark of God; and Ahio went before the ark.H5375H1004H41H1390H5973H727H430H283H1980H6440H727 5Then David and all the house of Israel played music before the LORD on all kinds of instruments of fir wood, on harps, on stringed instruments, on tambourines, on sistrums, and on cymbals.H1732H1004H3478H7832H6440H3068H1265H6086H3658H5035H8596H4517H6767 6And when they came to Nachon's threshing floor, Uzzah put out his hand to the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen stumbled.H935H5225H1637H5798H7971H727H430H270H1241H8058 7Then the anger of the LORD was aroused against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his error; and he died there by the ark of God.H639H3068H2734H5798H430H5221H7944H4191H727H430 8And David became angry because of the LORD'S outbreak against Uzzah; and he called the name of the place Perez Uzzah to this day.H1732H2734H3068H6555H6556H5798H7121H4725H6560H3117 9David was afraid of the LORD that day; and he said, "How can the ark of the LORD come to me?"H1732H3372H3068H3117H559H727H3068H935 10So David would not move the ark of the LORD with him into the City of David; but David took it aside into the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.H1732H14H5493H727H3068H5892H1732H1732H5186H1004H5654H1663 11The ark of the LORD remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite three months. And the LORD blessed Obed-Edom and all his household.H727H3068H3427H1004H5654H1663H7969H2320H3068H1288H5654H1004 12Now it was told King David, saying, "The LORD has blessed the house of Obed-Edom and all that belongs to him, because of the ark of God." So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the City of David with gladness.H5046H4428H1732H559H3068H1288H1004H5654H727H430H1732H3212H5927H727H430H1004H5654H5892H1732H8057 13And so it was, when those bearing the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, that he sacrificed oxen and fatted sheep.H5375H727H3068H6805H8337H6806H2076H7794H4806 14Then David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was wearing a linen ephod.H1732H3769H6440H3068H5797H1732H2296H906H646 15So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting and with the sound of the trumpet.H1732H1004H3478H5927H727H3068H8643H6963H7782 16Now as the ark of the LORD came into the City of David, Michal, Saul's daughter, looked through a window and saw King David leaping and whirling before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.H727H3068H935H5892H1732H4324H7586H1323H8259H2474H7200H4428H1732H6339H3769H6440H3068H959H3820 17So they brought the ark of the LORD, and set it in its place in the midst of the tabernacle that David had erected for it. Then David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.H935H727H3068H3322H4725H8432H168H1732H5186H1732H5927H5930H8002H6440H3068 18And when David had finished offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts.H1732H3615H5927H5930H8002H1288H5971H8034H3068H6635 19Then he distributed among all the people, among the whole multitude of Israel, both the women and the men, to everyone a loaf of bread, a piece of meat, and a cake of raisins. So all the people departed, everyone to his house.H2505H5971H1995H3478H802H376H376H259H2471H3899H829H809H5971H3212H376H1004 20Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, "How glorious was the king of Israel today, uncovering himself today in the eyes of the maids of his servants, as one of the base fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!"H1732H7725H1288H1004H4324H1323H7586H3318H7125H1732H559H3513H4428H3478H3117H1540H3117H5869H519H5650H259H7386H1540H1540 21So David said to Michal, "It was before the LORD, who chose me instead of your father and all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel. Therefore I will play music before the LORD.H1732H559H4324H6440H3068H977H1H1004H6680H5057H5971H3068H3478H7832H6440H3068 22"And I will be even more undignified than this, and will be humble in my own sight. But as for the maidservants of whom you have spoken, by them I will be held in honor."H7043H2063H8217H5869H519H559H3513 23Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her death.H4324H1323H7586H2056H3206H3117H4194
