2 Samuel 6:5-14

5Meanwhile, DavidH1732 and allH3605 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 1were celebratingH7832 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 2with allH3605 kinds of instruments made of 3firH1265 woodH6086, and with lyresH3658, harpsH5035, tambourinesH8596, castanetsH4517 and cymbalsH6767.

6But when they cameH935 to the 4threshingH1637 floorH1637 of NaconH5225, UzzahH5798 5reachedH7971 out towardH413 the arkH727 of GodH430 and tookH270 holdH270 of it, for the oxenH1241 nearly upsetH8058 it. 7And the angerH639 of the LordH3068 burnedH2734 against UzzahH5798, and 6GodH430 struckH5221 him downH5221 thereH8033 for 7his irreverenceH7944; and he diedH4191 thereH8033 by the arkH727 of GodH430. 8DavidH1732 becameH2734 angryH2734 becauseH5921H834 8of the Lord’sH3068 outburstH6555H6556 against UzzahH5798, and that placeH4725 is calledH7121 9Perez-uzzahH6560 to thisH2088 dayH3117. 9So 10DavidH1732 was afraidH3372 of the LordH3068 that dayH3117; and he saidH559, “HowH349 can the arkH727 of the LordH3068 comeH935 to me?” 10And DavidH1732 was unwillingH3808H14 to moveH5493 the arkH727 of the LordH3068 into the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 with him; but DavidH1732 tookH5186 it asideH5186 to the houseH1004 of 11Obed-edomH5654 the GittiteH1663. 11Thus the arkH727 of the LordH3068 remainedH3427 in the houseH1004 of Obed-edomH5654 the GittiteH1663 threeH7969 monthsH2320, and the LordH3068 12blessedH1288 Obed-edomH5654 and allH3605 his householdH1004.

12Now it was toldH5046 KingH4428 DavidH1732, sayingH559, “The LordH3068 has blessedH1288 the houseH1004 of Obed-edomH5654 and allH3605 that belongs to him, on accountH5668 of the arkH727 of GodH430.” 13DavidH1732 wentH1980 and broughtH5927 up the arkH727 of GodH430 from the houseH1004 of Obed-edomH5654 into 14the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 with gladnessH8057. 13And so it was, that whenH3588 the 15bearersH5375 of the arkH727 of the LordH3068 had goneH6805 sixH8337 pacesH6806, he sacrificedH2076 an 16oxH7794 and a fatlingH4806. 14And 17DavidH1732 was dancingH3769 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 with allH3605 his mightH5797, and DavidH1732 was 1819wearingH2296 a linenH906 ephodH646.
