The Ark Brought to Jerusalem

6David again brought together out of Israel chosen men, thirty thousand in all.H1732H622H3254H977H3478H7970H505 2He and all his men set out from Baalah of Judah to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the Name, the name of the LORD Almighty, who is enthroned between the cherubim that are on the ark.H1732H6965H3212H5971H1184H5927H727H430H8034H7121H8034H3068H6635H3427H3742 3They set the ark of God on a new cart and brought it from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill. Uzzah and Ahio, sons of Abinadab, were guiding the new cartH7392H727H430H2319H5699H5375H1004H41H1390H5798H283H1121H41H5090H2319H5699 4with the ark of God on it, and Ahio was walking in front of it.H5375H1004H41H1390H5973H727H430H283H1980H6440H727 5David and the whole house of Israel were celebrating with all their might before the LORD, with songs and with harps, lyres, tambourines, sistrums and cymbals.H1732H1004H3478H7832H6440H3068H1265H6086H3658H5035H8596H4517H6767 6When they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark of God, because the oxen stumbled.H935H5225H1637H5798H7971H727H430H270H1241H8058 7The LORD'S anger burned against Uzzah because of his irreverent act; therefore God struck him down and he died there beside the ark of God.H639H3068H2734H5798H430H5221H7944H4191H727H430 8Then David was angry because the LORD'S wrath had broken out against Uzzah, and to this day that place is called Perez Uzzah.H1732H2734H3068H6555H6556H5798H7121H4725H6560H3117 9David was afraid of the LORD that day and said, "How can the ark of the LORD ever come to me?"H1732H3372H3068H3117H559H727H3068H935 10He was not willing to take the ark of the LORD to be with him in the City of David. Instead, he took it aside to the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.H1732H14H5493H727H3068H5892H1732H1732H5186H1004H5654H1663 11The ark of the LORD remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite for three months, and the LORD blessed him and his entire household.H727H3068H3427H1004H5654H1663H7969H2320H3068H1288H5654H1004 12Now King David was told, "The LORD has blessed the household of Obed-Edom and everything he has, because of the ark of God." So David went down and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the City of David with rejoicing.H5046H4428H1732H559H3068H1288H1004H5654H727H430H1732H3212H5927H727H430H1004H5654H5892H1732H8057 13When those who were carrying the ark of the LORD had taken six steps, he sacrificed a bull and a fattened calf.H5375H727H3068H6805H8337H6806H2076H7794H4806 14David, wearing a linen ephod, danced before the LORD with all his might,H1732H3769H6440H3068H5797H1732H2296H906H646 15while he and the entire house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouts and the sound of trumpets.H1732H1004H3478H5927H727H3068H8643H6963H7782 16As the ark of the LORD was entering the City of David, Michal daughter of Saul watched from a window. And when she saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD, she despised him in her heart.H727H3068H935H5892H1732H4324H7586H1323H8259H2474H7200H4428H1732H6339H3769H6440H3068H959H3820 17They brought the ark of the LORD and set it in its place inside the tent that David had pitched for it, and David sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings before the LORD.H935H727H3068H3322H4725H8432H168H1732H5186H1732H5927H5930H8002H6440H3068 18After he had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD Almighty.H1732H3615H5927H5930H8002H1288H5971H8034H3068H6635 19Then he gave a loaf of bread, a cake of dates and a cake of raisins to each person in the whole crowd of Israelites, both men and women. And all the people went to their homes.H2505H5971H1995H3478H802H376H376H259H2471H3899H829H809H5971H3212H376H1004 20When David returned home to bless his household, Michal daughter of Saul came out to meet him and said, "How the king of Israel has distinguished himself today, disrobing in the sight of the slave girls of his servants as any vulgar fellow would!"H1732H7725H1288H1004H4324H1323H7586H3318H7125H1732H559H3513H4428H3478H3117H1540H3117H5869H519H5650H259H7386H1540H1540 21David said to Michal, "It was before the LORD, who chose me rather than your father or anyone from his house when he appointed me ruler over the LORD'S people Israel—I will celebrate before the LORD.H1732H559H4324H6440H3068H977H1H1004H6680H5057H5971H3068H3478H7832H6440H3068 22I will become even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes. But by these slave girls you spoke of, I will be held in honor."H7043H2063H8217H5869H519H559H3513 23And Michal daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her death.H4324H1323H7586H2056H3206H3117H4194
