David again gathered all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand in number.

Again, David gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.

David set out with all the people who were with him from Baale of Judah to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the name, the name of the LORD of Hosts, who is enthroned above the cherubim.

And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him from Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, whose name is called by the name of the LORD of hosts that dwelleth between the cherubims.

They placed the ark of God on a new cart and brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill. Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, were guiding the new cart.

And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart.

They carried the ark of God out of Abinadab’s house, which was on the hill, and Ahio walked in front of the ark.

And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which was at Gibeah, accompanying the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark.

David and all the house of Israel were celebrating before the LORD with all kinds of instruments made of fir wood—lyres, harps, tambourines, rattles, and cymbals.

And David and all the house of Israel played before the LORD on all manner of instruments made of fir wood, even on harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals.

When they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached out his hand to the ark of God to steady it, for the oxen had stumbled.

And when they came to Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it.

The LORD's anger burned against Uzzah, and God struck him down there for his irreverence. He died there beside the ark of God.

And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.

David was angry because the LORD had broken out against Uzzah, and that place was called Perez Uzzah, as it is to this day.

And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perezuzzah to this day.

David was afraid of the LORD that day and said, 'How can the ark of the LORD ever come to me?'

And David was afraid of the LORD that day, and said, How shall the ark of the LORD come to me?

So David was not willing to bring the ark of the LORD to the City of David. Instead, he took it to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

So David would not remove the ark of the LORD unto him into the city of David: but David carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gittite.

The ark of the LORD remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite for three months, and the LORD blessed Obed-edom and his entire household.

And the ark of the LORD continued in the house of Obededom the Gittite three months: and the LORD blessed Obededom, and all his household.

When King David was told, 'The LORD has blessed the house of Obed-edom and all that belongs to him because of the ark of God,' David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom to the City of David with rejoicing.

And it was told king David, saying, The LORD hath blessed the house of Obededom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obededom into the city of David with gladness.

When those carrying the ark of the LORD had taken six steps, he sacrificed a bull and a fattened calf.

And it was so, that when they that bare the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.

David, wearing a linen ephod, danced with all his might before the LORD.

And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.

David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouts and the sound of trumpets.

As the ark of the LORD entered the City of David, Michal, daughter of Saul, looked out from the window. When she saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD, she despised him in her heart.

And as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.

They brought the ark of the LORD and set it in its place inside the tent that David had pitched for it. Then David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

And they brought in the ark of the LORD, and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

When David had finished offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of Hosts.

And as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts.

He distributed food among all the people, the whole multitude of Israel, both men and women: to each person a loaf of bread, a portion of meat, and a cake of raisins. Then all the people returned to their homes.

And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. So all the people departed every one to his house.

When David returned to bless his household, Michal, daughter of Saul, came out to meet him and said, 'How the king of Israel has distinguished himself today, uncovering himself in the sight of the servant girls of his officials, as a vulgar person might shamelessly uncover himself!'

Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself!

David 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 people of the LORD, over Israel. I will celebrate before the LORD!'

And David said unto Michal, It was before the LORD, which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel: therefore will I play before the LORD.

I will become even more undignified than this, and I will be humble in my own eyes. But by the servant girls you spoke of, I will be held in honor.'

And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour.

And Michal, daughter of Saul, had no children to the day of her death.

Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death.
