1 Chronicles 13 (WEBP)
[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 Chronicles 13 (KJVS)
[1] And David H1732 consulted H3289 (8735) with the captains H8269 of thousands H505 and hundreds H3967, [and] with every leader H5057.
[2] And David H1732 said H559 (8799) unto all the congregation H6951 of Israel H3478, If [it seem] good H2895 (8804) unto you, and [that it be] of the LORD H3068 our God H430, let us send H7971 (8799) abroad H6555 (8799) unto our brethren H251 every where, [that are] left H7604 (8737) 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 (8735) themselves unto us:
[3] And let us bring again H5437 (8686) the ark H727 of our God H430 to us: for we enquired H1875 (8804) not at it in the days H3117 of Saul H7586.
[4] And all the congregation H6951 said H559 (8799) that they would do so H6213 (8800): for the thing H1697 was right H3474 (8804) in the eyes H5869 of all the people H5971.
[5] So David H1732 gathered H6950 all Israel H3478 together H6950 (8686), from Shihor H7883 of Egypt H4714 even unto the entering H935 (8800) of Hemath H2574, to bring H935 (8687) the ark H727 of God H430 from Kirjathjearim H7157.
[6] And David H1732 went up H5927 (8799), and all Israel H3478, to Baalah H1173, [that is], to Kirjathjearim H7157, which [belonged] to Judah H3063, to bring up H5927 (8687) thence the ark H727 of God H430 the LORD H3068, that dwelleth H3427 (8802) [between] the cherubims H3742, whose name H8034 is called H7121 (8738) [on it].
[7] And they carried H7392 (8686) 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 (8802) the cart H5699.
[8] And David H1732 and all Israel H3478 played H7832 (8764) 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 (8799) unto the threshingfloor H1637 of Chidon H3592, Uzza H5798 put forth H7971 (8799) his hand H3027 to hold H270 (8800) the ark H727; for the oxen H1241 stumbled H8058 (8804).
[10] And the anger H639 of the LORD H3068 was kindled H2734 (8799) against Uzza H5798, and he smote H5221 (8686) him, because he put H7971 (8804) his hand H3027 to the ark H727: and there he died H4191 (8799) before H6440 God H430.
[11] And David H1732 was displeased H2734 (8799), because the LORD H3068 had made H6555 (8804) a breach H6556 upon Uzza H5798: wherefore that place H4725 is called H7121 (8799) Perezuzza H6560 to this day H3117.
[12] And David H1732 was afraid H3372 (8799) of God H430 that day H3117, saying H559 (8800), How H1963 shall I bring H935 (8686) the ark H727 of God H430 [home] to me?
[13] So David H1732 brought H5493 (8689) not the ark H727 [home] to himself to the city H5892 of David H1732, but carried it aside H5186 (8686) into the house H1004 of Obededom H5654 the Gittite H1663.
[14] And the ark H727 of God H430 remained H3427 (8799) with the family H1004 of Obededom H5654 in his house H1004 three H7969 months H2320. And the LORD H3068 blessed H1288 (8762) the house H1004 of Obededom H5654, and all that he had.
Young’s Literal Translation
1 Chronicles 13 (YLT)
[1] And David consulteth with the heads of the thousands, and of the hundreds, every leader,
[2] and David saith to all the assembly of Israel, ‘If unto you it be good, and from Jehovah our God it hath broken forth-we send unto our brethren, those left in all the lands of Israel, and with them the priests and the Levites, in the cities of their suburbs, and they are gathered unto us,
[3] and we bring round the ark of our God unto us, for we sought Him not in the days of Saul.’
[4] And all the assembly say to do so, for the thing is right in the eyes of all the people.
[5] And David assembleth all Israel from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering in of Hamath, to bring in the ark of God from Kirjath-Jearim,
[6] and David goeth up, and all Israel, to Baalah, unto Kirjath-Jearim that is to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God Jehovah, inhabiting the cherubs, where the Name is called on.
[7] And they place the ark of God on a new cart, from the house of Abinadab, and Uzza and Ahio are leading the cart,
[8] and David and all Israel are playing before God, with all strength, and with songs, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.
[9] And they come in unto the threshing-floor of Chidon, and Uzza putteth forth his hand to seize the ark, for the oxen were released,
[10] and the anger of Jehovah is kindled against Uzza, and He smiteth him, because that he hath put forth his hand on the ark, and he dieth there before God.
[11] And it is displeasing to David, because Jehovah hath made a breach upon Uzza, and one calleth that place ‘Breach of Uzza’ unto this day.
[12] And David feareth God on that day, saying, ‘How do I bring in unto me the ark of God?’
[13] And David hath not turned aside the ark unto himself, unto the city of David, and turneth it aside unto the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.
[14] And the ark of God dwelleth with the household of Obed-Edom, in his house, three months, and Jehovah blesseth the house of Obed-Edom, and all that he hath.
