Peril in Moving the Ark

6Now David again gathered all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.H1732H622H3254H977H3478H7970H505 2And David arose and went with all the people who were with him to Baale-judah, to bring up from there the ark of God which is called by the Name, the very name of the LORD of hosts who is enthroned [above] the cherubim.H1732H6965H3212H5971H1184H5927H727H430H8034H7121H8034H3068H6635H3427H3742 3And they placed the ark of God on a new cart that they might bring it from the house of Abinadab which was on the hill; and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, were leading the new cart.H7392H727H430H2319H5699H5375H1004H41H1390H5798H283H1121H41H5090H2319H5699 4So they brought it with the ark of God from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill; and Ahio was walking ahead of the ark.H5375H1004H41H1390H5973H727H430H283H1980H6440H727 5Meanwhile, David and all the house of Israel were celebrating before the LORD with all kinds of [instruments made of] fir wood, and with lyres, harps, tambourines, castanets and cymbals.H1732H1004H3478H7832H6440H3068H1265H6086H3658H5035H8596H4517H6767 6But when they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached out toward the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen nearly upset [it.]H935H5225H1637H5798H7971H727H430H270H1241H8058 7And the anger of the LORD burned against Uzzah, and God struck him down there for his irreverence; and he died there by the ark of God.H639H3068H2734H5798H430H5221H7944H4191H727H430 8And David became angry because of the Lord's outburst against Uzzah, and that place is called Perez-uzzah to this day.H1732H2734H3068H6555H6556H5798H7121H4725H6560H3117 9So David was afraid of the LORD that day; and he said, "How can the ark of the LORD come to me?"H1732H3372H3068H3117H559H727H3068H935 10And David was unwilling to move the ark of the LORD into the city of David with him; but David took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.H1732H14H5493H727H3068H5892H1732H1732H5186H1004H5654H1663 11Thus the 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

The Ark Is Brought to Jerusalem

12Now it was told King David, saying, "The LORD has blessed the house of Obed-edom and all that belongs to him, on account of the ark of God." And David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the city of David with gladness.H5046H4428H1732H559H3068H1288H1004H5654H727H430H1732H3212H5927H727H430H1004H5654H5892H1732H8057 13And so it was, that when the bearers of the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fatling.H5375H727H3068H6805H8337H6806H2076H7794H4806 14And David was dancing before the LORD with all [his] might, and David was wearing a linen ephod.H1732H3769H6440H3068H5797H1732H2296H906H646 15So David and all the house of Israel were bringing up the ark of the LORD with shouting and the sound of the trumpet.H1732H1004H3478H5927H727H3068H8643H6963H7782 16Then it happened [as] the ark of the LORD came into the city of David that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out of the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.H727H3068H935H5892H1732H4324H7586H1323H8259H2474H7200H4428H1732H6339H3769H6440H3068H959H3820 17So they brought in the ark of the LORD and set it in its place inside the tent which David had pitched for it; and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.H935H727H3068H3322H4725H8432H168H1732H5186H1732H5927H5930H8002H6440H3068 18And when David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offering, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts.H1732H3615H5927H5930H8002H1288H5971H8034H3068H6635 19Further, he distributed to all the people, to all the multitude of Israel, both to men and women, a cake of bread and one of dates and one of raisins to each one. Then all the people departed each to his house.H2505H5971H1995H3478H802H376H376H259H2471H3899H829H809H5971H3212H376H1004 20But when David returned to bless his household, Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David and said, "How the king of Israel distinguished himself today! He uncovered himself today in the eyes of his servants' maids as one of the foolish ones shamelessly uncovers himself!"H1732H7725H1288H1004H4324H1323H7586H3318H7125H1732H559H3513H4428H3478H3117H1540H3117H5869H519H5650H259H7386H1540H1540 21So David said to Michal, "[It was] before the LORD, who chose me above your father and above all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel; therefore I will celebrate before the LORD.H1732H559H4324H6440H3068H977H1H1004H6680H5057H5971H3068H3478H7832H6440H3068 22"And I will be more lightly esteemed than this and will be humble in my own eyes, but with the maids of whom you have spoken, with them I will be distinguished."H7043H2063H8217H5869H519H559H3513 23And Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.H4324H1323H7586H2056H3206H3117H4194
