* And Dauid counselled with the captaines of thousandes and of hundreths , and with all the gouernours . * And Dauid said to all the Congregation of Israel , If it seeme good to you , and that it proceedeth of the Lorde our God , we will sende to and fro vnto our brethren , that are left in all the lande of Israel (for with them are the Priests and the Leuites in the cities and their suburbes ) that they may assemble them selues vnto vs . * And let us bring again the (note :)His first concern was to restore religion , which had in Saul 's day been corrupted and neglected .(:note ) ark of our God to us : for we enquired not at it in the days of Saul . * And all the Congregation answered , Let vs doe so : for the thing seemed good in the eyes of all the people . * So David gathered all Israel together , from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of Hemath , to bring the ark of God from (note :)That is , from Gibea , where the inhabitants of Kirjathjearim had placed it in the house of Abinadab , ( 2Sa_6:3 ).(:note ) Kirjathjearim . * And Dauid went vp and all Israel to Baalath , in Kiriath-iearim , that was in Iudah , to bring vp from thence the Arke of God the Lorde that dwelleth betweene the Cherubims , where his Name is called on . * And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab : and Uzza and Ahio (note :)The sons of Abinadab .(:note ) drave the cart . * And David and all Israel played before (note :)That is , before the Ark , where God showed himself : so that the sign is taken for the thing signified , which is common to all sacraments both in the old and new testaments .(:note ) God with all [their ] might , and with singing , and with harps , and with psalteries , and with timbrels , and with cymbals , and with trumpets . * And when they came unto the threshingfloor of (note :)Called also Nachon , ( 2Sa_6:6 ).(:note ) Chidon , Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark ; for the oxen stumbled . * And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza , and he smote him , because he put his hand to the ark : and there he died (note :)Before the Ark for usurping that which did not belong to his calling : for this charge was given to the priests , ( Num_4:15 ), so that here all good intentions are condemned , unless they are commanded by the word of God .(:note ) before God . * And Dauid was angrie , because the Lorde had made a breach in Vzza , and he called the name of that place Perez-vzza vnto this day . * And Dauid feared God that day , saying , Howe shall I bring in to me the Arke of God ? * So David brought not the ark [home ] to himself to the city of David , but carried it aside into the house of (note :)Who was a Levite , and called Gittite , because he dwelt at Gath .(:note ) Obededom the Gittite . * So the Arke of God remained in the house of Obed Edom , euen in his house three moneths : and the Lorde blessed the house of Obed Edom , and all that he had .
