God’s Word Translation
1 Chronicles 13:6-14
6David and all Israel went to Baalah in Kiriath Jearim, which is in Judah, to bring God’s ark ⌞to Jerusalem⌟. (The Lord is enthroned over the angels ⌞on the ark⌟ where his name is used.)
7David and his men put God’s ark on a new cart from Abinadab’s home. Uzzah and Ahio guided the cart.
8David and all Israel were celebrating in God’s presence with all their might, with songs, with lyres, harps, tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets.
9But when they came to Chidon’s threshing floor, the oxen stumbled. So Uzzah reached out to grab the ark.
10The Lord became angry with Uzzah and killed him for reaching for the ark. He died in God’s presence.
11David was angry because the Lord had struck Uzzah so violently. (That place is still called Perez Uzzah [The Striking of Uzzah] today.)
12David was afraid of God that day. “How can I bring God’s ark to my ⌞city⌟?” he asked.
13So he didn’t bring God’s ark to his ⌞home⌟, the City of David. Instead, he rerouted it to the home of Obed Edom, who was from Gath.
14God’s ark stayed at the home of Obed Edom with his family for three months, and the Lord blessed Obed Edom’s family and everything he owned.
