[1] David consulted with the captains of thousands and of hundreds, even with every leader. [2] David said to all the assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if it is of Yahweh our God, let’s send word everywhere to our brothers who are left in all the land of Israel, with whom the priests and Levites are in their cities that have pasture lands, that they may gather themselves to us. [3] Also, let’s bring the ark of our God back to us again, for we didn’t seek it in the days of Saul.” [4] All the assembly said that they would do so, for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people. [5] So David assembled all Israel together, from the Shihor River of Egypt even to the entrance of Hamath, to bring God’s ark from Kiriath Jearim. [6] David went up with all Israel to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath Jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from there God Yahweh’s ark that sits above the cherubim, that is called by the Name. [7] They carried God’s ark on a new cart, and brought it out of Abinadab’s house; and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart. [8] David and all Israel played before God with all their might, even with songs, with harps, with stringed instruments, with tambourines, with cymbals, and with trumpets. [9] When they came to Chidon’s threshing floor, Uzza put out his hand to hold the ark, for the oxen stumbled. [10] Yahweh’s anger burned against Uzza, and he struck him because he put his hand on the ark; and he died there before God. [11] David was displeased, because Yahweh had broken out against Uzza. He called that place Perez Uzza, to this day. [12] David was afraid of God that day, saying, “How can I bring God’s ark home to me?” [13] So David didn’t move the ark with him into David’s city, but carried it aside into Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house. [14] God’s ark remained with the family of Obed-Edom in his house three months; and Yahweh blessed Obed-Edom’s house and all that he had.

[1] And David H1732 consulted H3289 (NiphImpf) with the captains H8269 of thousands H505 and hundreds, H3967 and with every leader. H5057 [2] And David H1732 said H559 (QalImpf) unto all the congregation H6951 of Israel, H3478 If it seem good H2895 (QalPerf) unto you, and that it be of the Lord H3068 our God, H430 let us send H7971 (QalImpf) abroad H6555 (QalImpf)§ unto our brethren H251 every where, that are left H7604 (NiphPtc) in all the land H776 of Israel, H3478 and with them also to the priests H3548 and Levites H3881 which are in their cities H5892 and suburbs,§ H4054 that they may gather H6908 (NiphImpf) themselves unto us: [3] and let us bring again H5437 (HiphImpf)§ the ark H727 of our God H430 to us: for we enquired H1875 (QalPerf) not at it in the days H3117 of Saul. H7586 [4] And all the congregation H6951 said H559 (QalImpf) that they would do so: H6213 (QalInf) for the thing H1697 was right H3474 (QalPerf) in the eyes H5869 of all the people. H5971 [5] So David H1732 gathered H6950 all Israel H3478 together, H6950 (HiphImpf) from Shihor H7883 of Egypt H4714 even unto the entering H935 (QalInf) of Hemath, H2574 to bring H935 (HiphInf) the ark H727 of God H430 from Kirjath-jearim. H7157 [6] And David H1732 went up, H5927 (QalImpf) and all Israel, H3478 to Baalah, H1173 that is, to Kirjath-jearim, H7157 which belonged to Judah, H3063 to bring up H5927 (HiphInf) thence the ark H727 of God H430 the Lord, H3068 that dwelleth H3427 (QalActPtc) between the cherubims, H3742 whose name H8034 is called H7121 (NiphPerf) on it. [7] And they carried H7392 (HiphImpf) the ark H727§ of God H430 in a new H2319 cart H5699 out of the house H1004 of Abinadab: H41 and Uzza H5798 and Ahio H283 drave H5090 (QalActPtc) the cart. H5699 [8] And David H1732 and all Israel H3478 played H7832 (PielPtc) before H6440 God H430 with all their might, H5797 and with singing, H7892§ and with harps, H3658 and with psalteries, H5035 and with timbrels, H8596 and with cymbals, H4700 and with trumpets. H2689 [9] And when they came H935 (QalImpf) unto the threshingfloor H1637 of Chidon, H3592ⓘ Uzza H5798 put forth H7971 (QalImpf) his hand H3027 to hold H270 (QalInf) the ark; H727 for the oxen H1241 stumbled. H8058 (QalPerf)§ [10] And the anger H639 of the Lord H3068 was kindled H2734 (QalImpf) against Uzza, H5798 and he smote H5221 (HiphImpf) him, because he put H7971 (QalPerf) his hand H3027 to the ark: H727 and there he died H4191 (QalImpf) before H6440 God. H430 [11] And David H1732 was displeased, H2734 (QalImpf) because the Lord H3068 had made H6555 (QalPerf) a breach H6556 upon Uzza: H5798 wherefore that place H4725 is called H7121 (QalImpf) Perez-uzza H6560§ to this day. H3117 [12] And David H1732 was afraid H3372 (QalImpf) of God H430 that day, H3117 saying, H559 (QalInf) How H1963 shall I bring H935 (HiphImpf) the ark H727 of God H430 home to me? [13] So David H1732 brought H5493 (HiphPerf) not§ the ark H727 home to himself to the city H5892 of David, H1732 but carried it aside H5186 (HiphImpf) into the house H1004 of Obed-edom H5654 the Gittite. H1663 [14] And the ark H727 of God H430 remained H3427 (QalImpf) with the family H1004 of Obed-edom H5654 in his house H1004 three H7969 months. H2320 And the Lord H3068 blessed H1288 (PielImpf) the house H1004 of Obed-edom, H5654 and all that he had.Footnotes
