David Moves the Ark

6David again assembled all the choice men in Israel, 30,000.H1732H622H3254H977H3478H7970H505
2He and all his troops set out to bring the ark of God from Baale-judah. The ark is called by the Name, the name of the LORD of Hosts who dwells [between] the cherubim.H1732H6965H3212H5971H1184H5927H727H430H8034H7121H8034H3068H6635H3427H3742
3They set the ark of God on a new cart and transported it from Abinadab's house, which was on the hill. Uzzah and Ahio, sons of Abinadab, were guiding the cartH7392H727H430H2319H5699H5375H1004H41H1390H5798H283H1121H41H5090H2319H5699
4and brought it with the ark of God from Abinadab's house on the hill. Ahio walked in front of the ark.H5375H1004H41H1390H5973H727H430H283H1980H6440H727
5David and the whole house of Israel were celebrating before the LORD with all [kinds of] fir wood [instruments], lyres, harps, tambourines, sistrums, and cymbals.H1732H1004H3478H7832H6440H3068H1265H6086H3658H5035H8596H4517H6767
6When they came to Nacon's threshing floor, Uzzah reached out to the ark of God and took hold of it, because the oxen had stumbled.H935H5225H1637H5798H7971H727H430H270H1241H8058
7Then the LORD's anger burned against Uzzah, and God struck him dead on the spot for his irreverence, and he died there next to the ark of God.H639H3068H2734H5798H430H5221H7944H4191H727H430
8David was angry because of the LORD's outburst against Uzzah, so he named that place an Outburst Against Uzzah, as it is today.H1732H2734H3068H6555H6556H5798H7121H4725H6560H3117
9David feared the LORD that day and said, "How can the ark of the LORD ever come to me?"H1732H3372H3068H3117H559H727H3068H935
10So he was not willing to move the ark of the LORD to the city of David; instead, he took it to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.H1732H14H5493H727H3068H5892H1732H1732H5186H1004H5654H1663
11The ark of the LORD remained in his house three months, and the LORD blessed Obed-edom and his whole family.H727H3068H3427H1004H5654H1663H7969H2320H3068H1288H5654H1004
12It was reported to King David: "The LORD has blessed Obed-edom's family and all that belongs to him because of the ark of God." So David went and had the ark of God brought up from Obed-edom's house to the city of David with rejoicing.H5046H4428H1732H559H3068H1288H1004H5654H727H430H1732H3212H5927H727H430H1004H5654H5892H1732H8057
13When those carrying the ark of the LORD advanced six steps, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.H5375H727H3068H6805H8337H6806H2076H7794H4806
14David was dancing with all his might before the LORD wearing a linen ephod.H1732H3769H6440H3068H5797H1732H2296H906H646
15He and the whole house of Israel were bringing up the ark of the LORD with shouts and the sound of the ram's horn.H1732H1004H3478H5927H727H3068H8643H6963H7782
16As the ark of the LORD was entering the city of David, Saul's daughter Michal looked down from the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD, and she despised him in her heart.H727H3068H935H5892H1732H4324H7586H1323H8259H2474H7200H4428H1732H6339H3769H6440H3068H959H3820
17They brought the ark of the LORD and set it in its place inside the tent David had set up for it. Then David offered burnt offerings and fellowship offerings in the LORD's presence.H935H727H3068H3322H4725H8432H168H1732H5186H1732H5927H5930H8002H6440H3068
18When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the fellowship offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of Hosts.H1732H3615H5927H5930H8002H1288H5971H8034H3068H6635
19Then he distributed a loaf of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake to each one of the whole multitude of the people of Israel, both men and women. Then all the people left, each to his own home.H2505H5971H1995H3478H802H376H376H259H2471H3899H829H809H5971H3212H376H1004
20When David returned [home] to bless his household, Saul's daughter Michal came out to meet him. "How the king of Israel honored himself today!" she said. "He exposed himself today in the sight of the slave girls of his subjects like a vulgar person would expose himself."H1732H7725H1288H1004H4324H1323H7586H3318H7125H1732H559H3513H4428H3478H3117H1540H3117H5869H519H5650H259H7386H1540H1540
21David replied to Michal, "I was dancing before the LORD who chose me over your father and his whole family to appoint me ruler over the LORD's people Israel. I will celebrate before the LORD,H1732H559H4324H6440H3068H977H1H1004H6680H5057H5971H3068H3478H7832H6440H3068
22and I will humble myself even more and humiliate myself. I will be honored by the slave girls you spoke about."H7043H2063H8217H5869H519H559H3513
23And Saul's daughter Michal had no child to the day of her death.H4324H1323H7586H2056H3206H3117H4194
