1 Chronicles 13

1And DavidH1732 consultedH3289 with the captains of thousandsH505 and of hundredsH3967, even with every leaderH5057. 2And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto all the assemblyH6951 of IsraelH3478, If it seem goodH2895 unto you, and if it be of Jehovah our GodH430, let us sendH7971 abroad every where unto our brethren that are leftH7604 in all the landH776 of IsraelH3478, with whom the priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881 are in their citiesH5892 that have suburbs, that they may gatherH6908 themselves unto us; 3and let us bringH5437 again the arkH727 of our GodH430 to us: for we soughtH1875 not unto it in the daysH3117 of SaulH7586. 4And all the assemblyH6951 saidH559 that they would do soH3651; for the thingH1697 was right in the eyesH5869 of all the peopleH5971. 5So DavidH1732 assembledH6950 all IsraelH3478 togetherH6950, from the ShihorH7883 the brook of EgyptH4714 even unto the entrance of HamathH2574, to bringH935 the arkH727 of GodH430 from Kiriath-jearimH7157. 6And DavidH1732 wentH5927 up, and all IsraelH3478, to BaalahH1173, that is, to Kiriath-jearimH7157, which belonged to JudahH3063, to bringH5927 up from thence the arkH727 of GodH430 Jehovah that sitteth above the cherubimH3742, that is calledH7121 by the NameH8034. 7And they carried the arkH727 of GodH430 upon a newH2319 cartH5699, and brought it out of the houseH1004 of AbinadabH41: and Uzza and AhioH283 drove the cartH5699. 8And DavidH1732 and all IsraelH3478 playedH7832 before GodH430 with all their might, even with songsH7892, and with harpsH3658, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbalsH4700, and with trumpetsH2689.

9And when they cameH935 unto the threshing-floor of Chidon, Uzza put forthH7971 his handH3027 to holdH270 the arkH727; for the oxenH1241 stumbled. 10And the angerH639 of Jehovah was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he putH4191 forthH7971 his handH3027 to the arkH727; and there he diedH4191 before GodH430. 11And DavidH1732 was displeased, because Jehovah had brokenH6555 forth upon Uzza: and he calledH7121 that placeH4725 Perez-uzza, unto this dayH3117. 12And DavidH1732 was afraidH3372 of GodH430 that dayH3117, sayingH559, HowH1963 shall I bringH935 the arkH727 of GodH430 home to me? 13So DavidH1732 removedH5493 not the arkH727 unto him into the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, but carried it asideH5493 into the houseH1004 of Obed-edomH5654 the GittiteH1663. 14And the arkH727 of GodH430 remainedH3427 with the family of Obed-edomH5654 in his houseH1004 threeH7969 monthsH2320: and Jehovah blessedH1288 the houseH1004 of Obed-edomH5654, and all that he had.
