2 Samuel 6:2-12

2And DavidH1732 1departedH6965H1980 from 23Baale-judahH1184, with allH3605 the peopleH5971 whoH834 were with him, to bringH5927 upH5927 from thereH8033 the arkH727 of GodH430 whichH834 is calledH7121 by the 4NameH8034, the very nameH8034 of the LordH3068 of armiesH6635 who 5is 6enthronedH3427 above the cherubimH3742. 3They had mountedH7392 the arkH727 of GodH430 on 7a newH2319 cartH5699 and movedH5375 it from the houseH1004 of AbinadabH41, whichH834 was on the hillH1389; and UzzahH5798 and AhioH283, the sonsH1121 of AbinadabH41, were leadingH5090 the newH2319 cartH5699. 4So 8they broughtH5375 it with the arkH727 of GodH430 from the houseH1004 of AbinadabH41, whichH834 was on the hillH1389; and AhioH283 was walkingH1980 aheadH6440 of the arkH727. 5Meanwhile, DavidH1732 and allH3605 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 9were celebratingH7832 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 10with allH3605 kinds of instruments made of juniperH1265 woodH6086, and with 11lyresH3658, harpsH5035, tambourinesH8596, castanetsH4517, and cymbalsH6767.

6But when they cameH935 to the 12threshingH1637 floorH1637 of NaconH5225, UzzahH5798 13reachedH7971 outH7971 towardH413 the arkH727 of GodH430 and tookH270 holdH270 of it, becauseH3588 the oxenH1241 nearly overturnedH8058 it. 7And the angerH639 of the LordH3068 burnedH2734 against UzzahH5798, and 14GodH430 struckH5221 him down thereH8033 for 15his irreverenceH7944; and he diedH4191 thereH8033 by the arkH727 of GodH430. 8Then DavidH1732 becameH2734 angryH2734 becauseH5921H834 16of the Lord’sH3068 outburstH6555H6556 against UzzahH5798; and that placeH4725 has been calledH7121 17Perez-uzzahH6560 to thisH2088 dayH3117. 9So 18DavidH1732 wasH3372 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 19Obed-edomH5654, the GittiteH1663. 11The arkH727 of the LordH3068 remainedH3427 in the houseH1004 of Obed-edomH5654 the GittiteH1663 for threeH7969 monthsH2320, and the LordH3068 20blessedH1288 Obed-edomH5654 and allH3605 his householdH1004.

12Now it was reportedH5046 to 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.” 21So DavidH1732 wentH1980 and broughtH5927 the arkH727 of GodH430 upH5927 from the houseH1004 of Obed-edomH5654 to 22the cityH5892 of DavidH1732 with joyH8057.
