1 Chronicles 13

1And DavidH1732 consultedH3289 with the captainsH8269 of thousandsH505 and of hundredsH3967, and with every leaderH5057. 2And DavidH1732 saidH559 to all the congregationH6951 of IsraelH3478, If it seemeth goodH2895 to you, and that it is of the LORDH3068 our GodH430, let us sendH7971 abroadH6555 to our brethrenH251 every where, that are leftH7604 in all the landH776 of IsraelH3478, and with them also to the priestsH3548 and LevitesH3881 who are in their citiesH5892 and common landsH4054, that they may assembleH6908 to us:12 3And let us bring againH5437 to us the arkH727 of our GodH430: for we enquiredH1875 not at it in the daysH3117 of SaulH7586.3 4And all the congregationH6951 saidH559 that they would do soH6213: for the thingH1697 was rightH3474 in the eyesH5869 of all the peopleH5971. 5So DavidH1732 gatheredH6950 all IsraelH3478 togetherH6950, from ShihorH7883 of EgyptH4714 even to the entranceH935 of HemathH2574, to bringH935 the arkH727 of GodH430 from KirjathjearimH7157. 6And DavidH1732 went upH5927, and all IsraelH3478, to BaalahH1173, that is, to KirjathjearimH7157, which belonged to JudahH3063, to bring upH5927 from there the arkH727 of GodH430 the LORDH3068, that dwellethH3427 between the cherubimH3742, whose nameH8034 is calledH7121 on it . 7And they carriedH7392 the arkH727 of GodH430 in a newH2319 cartH5699 out of the houseH1004 of AbinadabH41: and UzzaH5798 and AhioH283 droveH5090 the cartH5699.4 8And DavidH1732 and all IsraelH3478 playedH7832 beforeH6440 GodH430 with all their mightH5797, and with singingH7892, and with harpsH3658, and with psalteriesH5035, and with timbrelsH8596, and with cymbalsH4700, and with trumpetsH2689.5

9And when they cameH935 to the threshingfloorH1637 of ChidonH3592, UzzaH5798 put forthH7971 his handH3027 to holdH270 the arkH727; for the oxenH1241 stumbledH8058.67 10And the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 was kindledH2734 against UzzaH5798, and he smoteH5221 him, because he putH7971 his handH3027 to the arkH727: and there he diedH4191 beforeH6440 GodH430. 11And DavidH1732 was displeasedH2734, because the LORDH3068 had broken forthH6555H6556 upon UzzaH5798: therefore that placeH4725 is calledH7121 PerezuzzaH6560 to this dayH3117.8 12And DavidH1732 was afraidH3372 of GodH430 that dayH3117, sayingH559, HowH1963 shall I bringH935 the arkH727 of GodH430 home to me? 13So DavidH1732 broughtH5493 not the arkH727 to himself to the cityH5892 of DavidH1732, but carried it asideH5186 into the houseH1004 of ObededomH5654 the GittiteH1663.9 14And the arkH727 of GodH430 remainedH3427 with the familyH1004 of ObededomH5654 in his houseH1004 threeH7969 monthsH2320. And the LORDH3068 blessedH1288 the houseH1004 of ObededomH5654, and all that he had.
