Again, David{H1732} gathered together{H622}{(H8799)}{(H8676)}{H3254}{(H8686)} all the chosen{H977}{(H8803)} men of Israel{H3478}, thirty{H7970} thousand{H505}.

And David{H1732} arose{H6965}{(H8799)}, and went{H3212}{(H8799)} with all the people{H5971} that were with him from Baale of Judah{H1184}, to bring up{H5927}{(H8687)} from thence the ark{H727} of God{H430}, whose name{H8034} is called{H7121}{(H8738)} by the name{H8034} of the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635} that dwelleth{H3427}{(H8802)} between the cherubims{H3742}.

And they set{H7392}{(H8686)} the ark{H727} of God{H430} upon a new{H2319} cart{H5699}, and brought{H5375}{(H8799)} it out of the house{H1004} of Abinadab{H41} that was in Gibeah{H1390}: and Uzzah{H5798} and Ahio{H283}, the sons{H1121} of Abinadab{H41}, drave{H5090}{(H8802)} the new{H2319} cart{H5699}.

And they brought{H5375}{(H8799)} it out of the house{H1004} of Abinadab{H41} which was at Gibeah{H1390}, accompanying{H5973} the ark{H727} of God{H430}: and Ahio{H283} went{H1980}{(H8802)} before{H6440} the ark{H727}.

And David{H1732} and all the house{H1004} of Israel{H3478} played{H7832}{(H8764)} before{H6440} the LORD{H3068} on all manner of instruments made of fir{H1265} wood{H6086}, even on harps{H3658}, and on psalteries{H5035}, and on timbrels{H8596}, and on cornets{H4517}, and on cymbals{H6767}.

And when they came{H935}{(H8799)} to Nachon's{H5225} threshingfloor{H1637}, Uzzah{H5798} put forth{H7971}{(H8799)} his hand to the ark{H727} of God{H430}, and took hold{H270}{(H8799)} of it; for the oxen{H1241} shook{H8058}{(H8804)} it.

And the anger{H639} of the LORD{H3068} was kindled{H2734}{(H8799)} against Uzzah{H5798}; and God{H430} smote{H5221}{(H8686)} him there for his error{H7944}; and there he died{H4191}{(H8799)} by the ark{H727} of God{H430}.

And David{H1732} was displeased{H2734}{(H8799)}, because the LORD{H3068} had made{H6555}{(H8804)} a breach{H6556} upon Uzzah{H5798}: and he called{H7121}{(H8799)} the name of the place{H4725} Perezuzzah{H6560} to this day{H3117}.

And David{H1732} was afraid{H3372}{(H8799)} of the LORD{H3068} that day{H3117}, and said{H559}{(H8799)}, How shall the ark{H727} of the LORD{H3068} come{H935}{(H8799)} to me?

So David{H1732} would{H14}{(H8804)} not remove{H5493}{(H8687)} the ark{H727} of the LORD{H3068} unto him into the city{H5892} of David{H1732}: but David{H1732} carried it aside{H5186}{(H8686)} into the house{H1004} of Obededom{H5654} the Gittite{H1663}.

And the ark{H727} of the LORD{H3068} continued{H3427}{(H8799)} in the house{H1004} of Obededom{H5654} the Gittite{H1663} three{H7969} months{H2320}: and the LORD{H3068} blessed{H1288}{(H8762)} Obededom{H5654}, and all his household{H1004}.

And it was told{H5046}{(H8714)} king{H4428} David{H1732}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, The LORD{H3068} hath blessed{H1288}{(H8765)} the house{H1004} of Obededom{H5654}, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark{H727} of God{H430}. So David{H1732} went{H3212}{(H8799)} and brought up{H5927}{(H8686)} the ark{H727} of God{H430} from the house{H1004} of Obededom{H5654} into the city{H5892} of David{H1732} with gladness{H8057}.

And it was so, that when they that bare{H5375}{(H8802)} the ark{H727} of the LORD{H3068} had gone{H6805}{(H8804)} six{H8337} paces{H6806}, he sacrificed{H2076}{(H8799)} oxen{H7794} and fatlings{H4806}.

And David{H1732} danced{H3769}{(H8772)} before{H6440} the LORD{H3068} with all his might{H5797}; and David{H1732} was girded{H2296}{(H8803)} with a linen{H906} ephod{H646}.

So David{H1732} and all the house{H1004} of Israel{H3478} brought up{H5927}{(H8688)} the ark{H727} of the LORD{H3068} with shouting{H8643}, and with the sound{H6963} of the trumpet{H7782}.

And as the ark{H727} of the LORD{H3068} came{H935}{(H8802)} into the city{H5892} of David{H1732}, Michal{H4324} Saul's{H7586} daughter{H1323} looked{H8259}{(H8738)} through a window{H2474}, and saw{H7200}{(H8799)} king{H4428} David{H1732} leaping{H6339}{(H8764)} and dancing{H3769}{(H8772)} before{H6440} the LORD{H3068}; and she despised{H959}{(H8799)} him in her heart{H3820}.

And they brought{H935}{(H8686)} in the ark{H727} of the LORD{H3068}, and set{H3322}{(H8686)} it in his place{H4725}, in the midst{H8432} of the tabernacle{H168} that David{H1732} had pitched{H5186}{(H8804)} for it: and David{H1732} offered{H5927}{(H8686)} burnt offerings{H5930} and peace offerings{H8002} before{H6440} the LORD{H3068}.

And as soon as David{H1732} had made an end{H3615}{(H8762)} of offering{H5927}{(H8687)} burnt offerings{H5930} and peace offerings{H8002}, he blessed{H1288}{(H8762)} the people{H5971} in the name{H8034} of the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635}.

And he dealt{H2505}{(H8762)} among all the people{H5971}, even among the whole multitude{H1995} of Israel{H3478}, as well to the women{H802} as men{H376}, to every one{H376} a{H259} cake{H2471} of bread{H3899}, and a good piece{H829} of flesh, and a flagon{H809} of wine. So all the people{H5971} departed{H3212}{(H8799)} every one{H376} to his house{H1004}.

Then David{H1732} returned{H7725}{(H8799)} to bless{H1288}{(H8763)} his household{H1004}. And Michal{H4324} the daughter{H1323} of Saul{H7586} came out{H3318}{(H8799)} to meet{H7125}{(H8800)} David{H1732}, and said{H559}{(H8799)}, How glorious{H3513}{(H8738)} was the king{H4428} of Israel{H3478} to day{H3117}, who uncovered{H1540}{(H8738)} 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}{(H8736)} uncovereth{H1540}{(H8736)} himself!

And David{H1732} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Michal{H4324}, It was before{H6440} the LORD{H3068}, which chose{H977}{(H8804)} me before thy father{H1}, and before all his house{H1004}, to appoint{H6680}{(H8763)} me ruler{H5057} over the people{H5971} of the LORD{H3068}, over Israel{H3478}: therefore will I play{H7832}{(H8765)} before{H6440} the LORD{H3068}.

And I will yet be more vile{H7043}{(H8738)} than thus{H2063}, and will be base{H8217} in mine own sight{H5869}: and of the maidservants{H519} which thou hast spoken{H559}{(H8804)} of, of them shall I be had in honour{H3513}{(H8735)}.

Therefore Michal{H4324} the daughter{H1323} of Saul{H7586} had no child{H2056}{(H8675)}{H3206} unto the day{H3117} of her death{H4194}.
