[1] David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand. [2] David arose and went with all the people who were with him from Baale Judah, to bring up from there God’s ark, which is called by the Name, even the name of Yahweh of Armies who sits above the cherubim. [3] They set God’s ark on a new cart, and brought it out of Abinadab’s house that was on the hill; and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart. [4] They brought it out of Abinadab’s house which was in the hill, with God’s ark; and Ahio went before the ark. [5] David and all the house of Israel played before Yahweh with all kinds of instruments made of cypress wood, with harps, with stringed instruments, with tambourines, with castanets, and with cymbals. [6] When they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached for God’s ark and took hold of it, for the cattle stumbled. [7] Yahweh’s anger burned against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his error; and he died there by God’s ark. [8] David was displeased because Yahweh had broken out against Uzzah; and he called that place Perez Uzzahⓘ to this day. [9] David was afraid of Yahweh that day; and he said, “How could Yahweh’s ark come to me?” [10] So David would not move Yahweh’s ark to be with him in David’s city; but David carried it aside into Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house. [11] Yahweh’s ark remained in Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house three months; and Yahweh blessed Obed-Edom and all his house. [12] King David was told, “Yahweh has blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that belongs to him, because of God’s ark.”So David went and brought up God’s ark from the house of Obed-Edom into David’s city with joy. [13] When those who bore Yahweh’s ark had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf. [14] David danced before Yahweh with all his might; and David was clothed in a linen ephod. [15] So David and all the house of Israel brought up Yahweh’s ark with shouting and with the sound of the trumpet. [16] As Yahweh’s ark came into David’s city, Michal the daughter of Saul looked out through the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before Yahweh; and she despised him in her heart. [17] They brought in Yahweh’s ark, and set it in its place in the middle of the tent that David had pitched for it; and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before Yahweh. [18] When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Yahweh of Armies. [19] He gave to all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, both to men and women, to everyone a portion of bread, dates, and raisins. So all the people departed, each to his own house. [20] Then David returned to bless his household. Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, “How glorious the king of Israel was today, who uncovered himself today in the eyes of his servants’ maids, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!” [21] David said to Michal, “It was before Yahweh, who chose me above your father, and above all his house, to appoint me prince over the people of Yahweh, over Israel. Therefore I will celebrate before Yahweh. [22] I will be yet more undignified than this, and will be worthless in my own sight. But the maids of whom you have spoken will honor me.” [23] Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.

The Ark of the Lord

[1] Again, David H1732 gathered together H622 (QalImpf/Ketiv) all the chosen H977 (QalPasPtc) men of Israel, H3478 thirty H7970 thousand. H505 [2] And David H1732 arose, H6965 (QalImpf) and went H3212 (QalImpf) with all the people H5971 that were with him from Baale of Judah, H1184 to bring up H5927 (HiphInf) from thence the ark H727 of God, H430 whose name H8034 is called H7121 (NiphPerf) by the name H8034 of the Lord H3068 of hosts H6635§ that dwelleth H3427 (QalActPtc) between the cherubims. H3742 [3] And they set H7392 (HiphImpf)§ the ark H727 of God H430 upon a new H2319 cart, H5699 and brought H5375 (QalImpf) 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 (QalActPtc) the new H2319 cart. H5699 [4] And they brought H5375 (QalImpf) 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 (QalActPtc) before H6440 the ark. H727 [5] And David H1732 and all the house H1004 of Israel H3478 played H7832 (PielPtc) 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 [6] And when they came H935 (QalImpf) to Nachon’s H5225 threshingfloor, H1637 Uzzah H5798 put forth H7971 (QalImpf) his hand to the ark H727 of God, H430 and took hold H270 (QalImpf) of it; for the oxen H1241 shook H8058 (QalPerf)§ it. [7] And the anger H639 of the Lord H3068 was kindled H2734 (QalImpf) against Uzzah; H5798 and God H430 smote H5221 (HiphImpf) him there for his error;§ H7944 and there he died H4191 (QalImpf) by the ark H727 of God. H430 [8] And David H1732 was displeased, H2734 (QalImpf) because the Lord H3068 had made H6555 (QalPerf)§ a breach H6556 upon Uzzah: H5798 and he called H7121 (QalImpf) the name of the place H4725 Perez-uzzah H6560ⓘ to this day. H3117 [9] And David H1732 was afraid H3372 (QalImpf) of the Lord H3068 that day, H3117 and said, H559 (QalImpf) How shall the ark H727 of the Lord H3068 come H935 (QalImpf) to me? [10] So David H1732 would H14 (QalPerf) not remove H5493 (HiphInf) the ark H727 of the Lord H3068 unto him into the city H5892 of David: H1732 but David H1732 carried it aside H5186 (HiphImpf) into the house H1004 of Obed-edom H5654 the Gittite. H1663 [11] And the ark H727 of the Lord H3068 continued H3427 (QalImpf) in the house H1004 of Obed-edom H5654 the Gittite H1663 three H7969 months: H2320 and the Lord H3068 blessed H1288 (PielImpf) Obed-edom, H5654 and all his household. H1004 [12] And it was told H5046 (HophImpf) king H4428 David, H1732 saying, H559 (QalInf) The Lord H3068 hath blessed H1288 (PielPerf) the house H1004 of Obed-edom, H5654 and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark H727 of God. H430 So David H1732 went H3212 (QalImpf) and brought up H5927 (HiphImpf) the ark H727 of God H430 from the house H1004 of Obed-edom H5654 into the city H5892 of David H1732 with gladness. H8057 [13] And it was so, that when they that bare H5375 (QalActPtc) the ark H727 of the Lord H3068 had gone H6805 (QalPerf) six H8337 paces, H6806 he sacrificed H2076 (QalImpf) oxen H7794 and fatlings. H4806 [14] And David H1732 danced H3769 (PilpPtc) before H6440 the Lord H3068 with all his might; H5797 and David H1732 was girded H2296 (QalPasPtc) with a linen H906 ephod. H646 [15] So David H1732 and all the house H1004 of Israel H3478 brought up H5927 (HiphPtc) the ark H727 of the Lord H3068 with shouting, H8643 and with the sound H6963 of the trumpet. H7782 [16] And as the ark H727 of the Lord H3068 came H935 (QalActPtc) into the city H5892 of David, H1732 Michal H4324 Saul’s H7586 daughter H1323 looked H8259 (NiphPerf) through a window, H2474 and saw H7200 (QalImpf) king H4428 David H1732 leaping H6339 (PielPtc) and dancing H3769 (PilpPtc) before H6440 the Lord; H3068 and she despised H959 (QalImpf) him in her heart. H3820 [17] And they brought H935 (HiphImpf) in the ark H727 of the Lord, H3068 and set H3322 (HiphImpf) it in his place, H4725 in the midst H8432 of the tabernacle H168 that David H1732 had pitched H5186 (QalPerf)§ for it: and David H1732 offered H5927 (HiphImpf) burnt offerings H5930 and peace offerings H8002 before H6440 the Lord. H3068 [18] And as soon as David H1732 had made an end H3615 (PielImpf) of offering H5927 (HiphInf) burnt offerings H5930 and peace offerings, H8002 he blessed H1288 (PielImpf) the people H5971 in the name H8034 of the Lord H3068 of hosts. H6635 [19] And he dealt H2505 (PielImpf) 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 (QalImpf) every one H376 to his house. H1004 [20] Then David H1732 returned H7725 (QalImpf) to bless H1288 (PielInf) his household. H1004 And Michal H4324 the daughter H1323 of Saul H7586 came out H3318 (QalImpf) to meet H7125 (QalInf) David, H1732 and said, H559 (QalImpf) How glorious H3513 (NiphPerf) was the king H4428 of Israel H3478 to day, H3117 who uncovered H1540 (NiphPerf) 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 (NiphInf)§ uncovereth H1540 (NiphInf) himself! [21] And David H1732 said H559 (QalImpf) unto Michal, H4324 It was before H6440 the Lord, H3068 which chose H977 (QalPerf) me before thy father, H1 and before all his house, H1004 to appoint H6680 (PielInf) me ruler H5057 over the people H5971 of the Lord, H3068 over Israel: H3478 therefore will I play H7832 (PielPerf) before H6440 the Lord. H3068 [22] And I will yet be more vile H7043 (NiphPerf) than thus, H2063 and will be base H8217 in mine own sight: H5869 and of the maidservants H519 which thou hast spoken H559 (QalPerf) of, of them shall I be had in honour. H3513 (NiphImpf) [23] Therefore Michal H4324 the daughter H1323 of Saul H7586 had no child H2056 (Qere) unto the day H3117 of her death. H4194
