And David{H1732} consulted{H3289} with the captains{H8269} of thousands{H505} and of hundreds,{H3967} even with every leader.{H5057}

And David{H1732} said{H559} unto all the assembly{H6951} of Israel,{H3478} If it seem good{H2895} unto you, and if it be of Jehovah{H3068} our God,{H430} let us send{H7971} abroad{H6555} every where unto our brethren{H251} that are left{H7604} in all the land{H776} of Israel,{H3478} with whom the priests{H3548} and Levites{H3881} are in their cities{H5892} that have suburbs,{H4054} that they may gather{H6908} themselves unto us;

and let us bring again{H5437} the ark{H727} of our God{H430} to us: for we sought{H1875} not unto it in the days{H3117} of Saul.{H7586}

And all the assembly{H6951} said{H559} that they would do so;{H6213} for the thing{H1697} was right{H3474} in the eyes{H5869} of all the people.{H5971}

So David{H1732} assembled{H6950} all Israel{H3478} together,{H6950} from the Shihor{H7883} [the brook] of Egypt{H4714} even unto the entrance{H935} of Hamath,{H2574} to bring{H935} the ark{H727} of God{H430} from Kiriath-jearim.{H7157}

And David{H1732} went up,{H5927} and all Israel,{H3478} to Baalah,{H1173} [that is], to Kiriath-jearim,{H7157} which belonged to Judah,{H3063} to bring up{H5927} from thence the ark{H727} of God{H430} Jehovah{H3068} that sitteth{H3427} [above] the cherubim,{H3742} [ that is called]{H7121} [by the Name.]{H8034}

[And they carried]{H7392} [the ark]{H727} [of God]{H430} [upon a new]{H2319} [cart,]{H5699} [and brought it] out of the house{H1004} of Abinadab:{H41} and Uzza{H5798} and Ahio{H283} drove{H5090} the cart.{H5699}

And David{H1732} and all Israel{H3478} played{H7832} before{H6440} God{H430} with all their might,{H5797} even with songs,{H7892} and with harps,{H3658} and with psalteries,{H5035} and with timbrels,{H8596} and with cymbals,{H4700} and with trumpets.{H2689}

And when they came{H935} unto the threshing-floor{H1637} of Chidon,{H3592} Uzza{H5798} put forth{H7971} his hand{H3027} to hold{H270} the ark;{H727} for the oxen{H1241} stumbled.{H8058}

And the anger{H639} of Jehovah{H3068} was kindled{H2734} against Uzza,{H5798} and he smote{H5221} him, because he put{H7971} forth his hand{H3027} to the ark;{H727} and there he died{H4191} before{H6440} God.{H430}

And David{H1732} was displeased,{H2734} because Jehovah{H3068} had broken{H6556} forth{H6555} upon Uzza;{H5798} and he called{H7121} that place{H4725} Perez-uzza,{H6560} unto this day.{H3117}

And David{H1732} was afraid{H3372} of God{H430} that day,{H3117} saying,{H559} How{H1963} shall I bring{H935} the ark{H727} of God{H430} home to me?

So David{H1732} removed{H5493} not the ark{H727} unto him into the city{H5892} of David,{H1732} but carried it aside{H5186} into the house{H1004} of Obed-edom{H5654} the Gittite.{H1663}

And the ark{H727} of God{H430} remained{H3427} with the family{H1004} of Obed-edom{H5654} in his house{H1004} three{H7969} months:{H2320} and Jehovah{H3068} blessed{H1288} the house{H1004} of Obed-edom,{H5654} and all that he had.
