2 Samuel 6 (WEBP)

[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.

2 Samuel 6:8 “Perez Uzzah” means “outbreak against Uzzah”.

2 Samuel 6 (BYZ)

[1] και συνηγαγεν ετι δαυιδ παντα νεανιαν εξ ισραηλ ως εβδομηκοντα χιλιαδας
[2] και ανεστη και επορευθη δαυιδ και πας ο λαος ο μετ αυτου απο των αρχοντων ιουδα εν αναβασει του αναγαγειν εκειθεν την κιβωτον του θεου εφ ην επεκληθη το ονομα κυριου των δυναμεων καθημενου επι των χερουβιν επ αυτης
[3] και επεβιβασεν την κιβωτον κυριου εφ αμαξαν καινην και ηρεν αυτην εξ οικου αμιναδαβ του εν τω βουνω και οζα και οι αδελφοι αυτου υιοι αμιναδαβ ηγον την αμαξαν
[4] συν τη κιβωτω και οι αδελφοι αυτου επορευοντο εμπροσθεν της κιβωτου
[5] και δαυιδ και οι υιοι ισραηλ παιζοντες ενωπιον κυριου εν οργανοις ηρμοσμενοις εν ισχυι και εν ωδαις και εν κινυραις και εν ναβλαις και εν τυμπανοις και εν κυμβαλοις και εν αυλοις
[6] και παραγινονται εως αλω νωδαβ και εξετεινεν οζα την χειρα αυτου επι την κιβωτον του θεου κατασχειν αυτην και εκρατησεν αυτην οτι περιεσπασεν αυτην ο μοσχος του κατασχειν αυτην
[7] και εθυμωθη κυριος τω οζα και επαισεν αυτον εκει ο θεος και απεθανεν εκει παρα την κιβωτον του κυριου ενωπιον του θεου
[8] και ηθυμησεν δαυιδ υπερ ου διεκοψεν κυριος διακοπην εν τω οζα και εκληθη ο τοπος εκεινος διακοπη οζα εως της ημερας ταυτης
[9] και εφοβηθη δαυιδ τον κυριον εν τη ημερα εκεινη λεγων πως εισελευσεται προς με η κιβωτος κυριου
[10] και ουκ εβουλετο δαυιδ του εκκλιναι προς αυτον την κιβωτον διαθηκης κυριου εις την πολιν δαυιδ και απεκλινεν αυτην δαυιδ εις οικον αβεδδαρα του γεθθαιου
[11] και εκαθισεν η κιβωτος του κυριου εις οικον αβεδδαρα του γεθθαιου μηνας τρεις και ευλογησεν κυριος ολον τον οικον αβεδδαρα και παντα τα αυτου
[12] και απηγγελη τω βασιλει δαυιδ λεγοντες ηυλογησεν κυριος τον οικον αβεδδαρα και παντα τα αυτου ενεκεν της κιβωτου του θεου και επορευθη δαυιδ και ανηγαγεν την κιβωτον του κυριου εκ του οικου αβεδδαρα εις την πολιν δαυιδ εν ευφροσυνη
[13] και ησαν μετ αυτων αιροντες την κιβωτον επτα χοροι και θυμα μοσχος και αρνα
[14] και δαυιδ ανεκρουετο εν οργανοις ηρμοσμενοις ενωπιον κυριου και ο δαυιδ ενδεδυκως στολην εξαλλον
[15] και δαυιδ και πας ο οικος ισραηλ ανηγαγον την κιβωτον κυριου μετα κραυγης και μετα φωνης σαλπιγγος
[16] και εγενετο της κιβωτου παραγινομενης εως πολεως δαυιδ και μελχολ η θυγατηρ σαουλ διεκυπτεν δια της θυριδος και ειδεν τον βασιλεα δαυιδ ορχουμενον και ανακρουομενον ενωπιον κυριου και εξουδενωσεν αυτον εν τη καρδια αυτης
[17] και φερουσιν την κιβωτον του κυριου και ανεθηκαν αυτην εις τον τοπον αυτης εις μεσον της σκηνης ης επηξεν αυτη δαυιδ και ανηνεγκεν δαυιδ ολοκαυτωματα ενωπιον κυριου και ειρηνικας
[18] και συνετελεσεν δαυιδ συναναφερων τας ολοκαυτωσεις και τας ειρηνικας και ευλογησεν τον λαον εν ονοματι κυριου των δυναμεων
[19] και διεμερισεν παντι τω λαω εις πασαν την δυναμιν του ισραηλ απο δαν εως βηρσαβεε απο ανδρος εως γυναικος εκαστω κολλυριδα αρτου και εσχαριτην και λαγανον απο τηγανου και απηλθεν πας ο λαος εκαστος εις τον οικον αυτου
[20] και επεστρεψεν δαυιδ ευλογησαι τον οικον αυτου και εξηλθεν μελχολ η θυγατηρ σαουλ εις απαντησιν δαυιδ και ευλογησεν αυτον και ειπεν τι δεδοξασται σημερον ο βασιλευς ισραηλ ος απεκαλυφθη σημερον εν οφθαλμοις παιδισκων των δουλων εαυτου καθως αποκαλυπτεται αποκαλυφθεις εις των ορχουμενων
[21] και ειπεν δαυιδ προς μελχολ ενωπιον κυριου ορχησομαι ευλογητος κυριος ος εξελεξατο με υπερ τον πατερα σου και υπερ παντα τον οικον αυτου του καταστησαι με εις ηγουμενον επι τον λαον αυτου επι τον ισραηλ και παιξομαι και ορχησομαι ενωπιον κυριου
[22] και αποκαλυφθησομαι ετι ουτως και εσομαι αχρειος εν οφθαλμοις σου και μετα των παιδισκων ων ειπας με δοξασθηναι
[23] και τη μελχολ θυγατρι σαουλ ουκ εγενετο παιδιον εως της ημερας του αποθανειν αυτην
