And David{H1732} again gathered together{H622} all the chosen{H977} men of Israel,{H3478} thirty{H7970} thousand.{H505}

And David{H1732} arose,{H6965} and went{H3212} with all the people{H5971} that were with him, from Baale-judah,{H1184} to bring up{H5927} from thence the ark{H727} of God,{H430} which is called{H7121} by the Name,{H8034} even the name{H8034} of Jehovah{H3068} of hosts{H6635} that [ sitteth]{H3427} [above] the cherubim.{H3742}

And they set{H7392} the ark{H727} of God{H430} upon a new{H2319} cart,{H5699} and brought{H5375} it out of the house{H1004} of Abinadab{H41} that was in the hill:{H1390} and Uzzah{H5798} and Ahio,{H283} the sons{H1121} of Abinadab,{H41} drove{H5090} the new{H2319} cart.{H5699}

And they brought{H5375} it out of the house{H1004} of Abinadab,{H41} which was in the hill,{H1390} with{H5973} the ark{H727} of God:{H430} and Ahio{H283} went{H1980} before{H6440} the ark.{H727}

And David{H1732} and all the house{H1004} of Israel{H3478} played{H7832} before{H6440} Jehovah{H3068} with all manner of [instruments made of] fir-wood,{H1265} {H6086} and with harps,{H3658} and with psalteries,{H5035} and with timbrels,{H8596} and with castanets,{H4517} and with cymbals.{H6767}

And when they came{H935} to the threshing-floor{H1637} of Nacon,{H5225} Uzzah{H5798} put forth{H7971} [his hand] to the ark{H727} of God,{H430} and took hold{H270} of it; for the oxen{H1241} stumbled.{H8058}

And the anger{H639} of Jehovah{H3068} was kindled{H2734} against Uzzah;{H5798} and God{H430} smote{H5221} him there for his error;{H7944} and there he died{H4191} by the ark{H727} of God.{H430}

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

And David{H1732} was afraid{H3372} of Jehovah{H3068} that day;{H3117} and he said,{H559} How shall the ark{H727} of Jehovah{H3068} come{H935} unto me?

So David{H1732} would{H14} not remove{H5493} the ark{H727} of Jehovah{H3068} unto him into the city{H5892} of David;{H1732} but David{H1732} carried it aside{H5186} into the house{H1004} of Obed-edom{H5654} the Gittite.{H1663}

And the ark{H727} of Jehovah{H3068} remained{H3427} in the house{H1004} of Obed-edom{H5654} the Gittite{H1663} three{H7969} months:{H2320} and Jehovah{H3068} blessed{H1288} Obed-edom,{H5654} and all his house.{H1004}

And it was told{H5046} king{H4428} David,{H1732} saying,{H559} Jehovah{H3068} hath blessed{H1288} the house{H1004} of Obed-edom,{H5654} and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark{H727} of God.{H430} And David{H1732} went{H3212} and brought up{H5927} the ark{H727} of God{H430} from the house{H1004} of Obed-edom{H5654} into the city{H5892} of David{H1732} with joy.{H8057}

And it was so, that, when they that bare{H5375} the ark{H727} of Jehovah{H3068} had gone{H6805} six{H8337} paces,{H6806} he sacrificed{H2076} an ox{H7794} and a fatling.{H4806}

And David{H1732} danced{H3769} before{H6440} Jehovah{H3068} with all his might;{H5797} and David{H1732} was girded{H2296} with a linen{H906} ephod.{H646}

So David{H1732} and all the house{H1004} of Israel{H3478} brought up{H5927} the ark{H727} of Jehovah{H3068} with shouting,{H8643} and with the sound{H6963} of the trumpet.{H7782}

And it was so, as the ark{H727} of Jehovah{H3068} came{H935} into the city{H5892} of David,{H1732} that Michal{H4324} the daughter{H1323} of Saul{H7586} looked{H8259} out at the window,{H2474} and saw{H7200} king{H4428} David{H1732} leaping{H6339} and dancing{H3769} before{H6440} Jehovah;{H3068} and she despised{H959} him in her heart.{H3820}

And they brought{H935} in the ark{H727} of Jehovah,{H3068} and set{H3322} it in its place,{H4725} in the midst{H8432} of the tent{H168} that David{H1732} had pitched{H5186} for it; and David{H1732} offered{H5927} burnt-offerings{H5930} and peace-offerings{H5930} before{H6440} Jehovah.{H3068}

And when David{H1732} had made an end{H3615} of offering{H5927} the burnt-offering{H5927} and the peace-offerings,{H5927} he blessed{H1288} the people{H5971} in the name{H8034} of Jehovah{H3068} of hosts.{H6635}

And he dealt{H2505} among all the people,{H5971} even among the whole multitude{H1995} of Israel,{H3478} both to men{H376} and women,{H802} to every one{H376} a{H259} cake{H2471} of bread,{H3899} and a portion{H829} [of flesh], and a cake{H809} of raisins. So all the people{H5971} departed{H3212} every one{H376} to his house.{H1004}

Then David{H1732} returned{H7725} to bless{H1288} his household.{H1004} And Michal{H4324} the daughter{H1323} of Saul{H7586} came out{H3318} to meet{H7125} David,{H1732} and said,{H559} How glorious{H3513} was the king{H4428} of Israel{H3478} to-day,{H3117} who uncovered{H1540} himself to-day{H3117} in the eyes{H5869} of the handmaids{H519} of his servants,{H5650} as one{H259} of the vain fellows{H7386} shamelessly{H1540} uncovereth{H1540} himself!

And David{H1732} said{H559} unto Michal,{H4324} [It was] before{H6440} Jehovah,{H3068} who chose{H977} me above thy father,{H1} and above all his house,{H1004} to appoint{H6680} me prince{H5057} over the people{H5971} of Jehovah,{H3068} over Israel:{H3478} therefore will I play{H7832} before{H6440} Jehovah.{H3068}

And I will be yet more vile{H7043} than this,{H2063} and will be base{H8217} in mine own sight:{H5869} but of the handmaids{H519} of whom thou hast spoken,{H559} of them shall I be had in honor.{H3513}

And Michal{H4324} the daughter{H1323} of Saul{H7586} had no child{H2056} unto the day{H3117} of her death.{H4194}
