1 And David consults with the heads of the thousands, and of the hundreds, every leader, 2 and David said to all the assembly of Israel, "If unto you it be good, and from Yahweh our Elohim it has broken forth - we send unto our brethren, those left in all the lands of Israel, and with them the priests and the Levites, in the cities of their suburbs, and they are gathered unto us, 3 and we bring round the ark of our Elohim unto us, for we sought Him not in the days of Saul." 4 And all the assembly say to do so, for the thing is right in the eyes of all the people. 5 And David assembles all Israel from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering in of Hamath, to bring in the ark of Elohim from Kirjath-Jearim, 6 and David goes up, and all Israel, to Baalah, unto Kirjath-Jearim that [is] to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of Elohim Yahweh, inhabiting the cherubs, where the Name is called on. 7 And they place the ark of Elohim on a new cart, from the house of Abinadab, and Uzza and Ahio are leading the cart, 8 and David and all Israel are playing before Elohim, with all strength, and with songs, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets. 9 And they come in unto the threshing-floor of Chidon, and Uzza puts forth his hand to seize the ark, for the oxen were released, 10 and the anger of Yahweh is kindled against Uzza, and He smites him, because that he has put forth his hand on the ark, and he dies there before Elohim. 11 And it is displeasing to David, because Yahweh has made a breach upon Uzza, and one calls that place "Breach of Uzza" unto this day. 12 And David fears Elohim on that day, saying, "How do I bring in unto me the ark of Elohim?" 13 And David has not turned aside the ark unto himself, unto the city of David, and turns it aside unto the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite. 14 And the ark of Elohim dwells with the household of Obed-Edom, in his house, three months, and Yahweh blesses the house of Obed-Edom, and all that he has.
