* And David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel , thirty thousand . * And David arose , and went with all the people that were with him , from Baale-judah , to bring up from thence the ark of God , whereupon is called the Name , even the name of the LORD of hosts that sitteth upon the cherubim . * And they set the ark of God upon a new cart , and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in the hill ; and Uzzah and Ahio , the sons of Abinadab , drove the new cart . * And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab , which was in the hill , with the ark of God , and Ahio went before the ark . * And David and all the house of Israel played before the LORD with all manner of instruments made of cypress-wood , and with harps , and with psalteries , and with timbrels , and with sistra , and with cymbals . * And when they came to the threshing-floor of Nacon , Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God , and took hold of it ; for the oxen stumbled . * And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah ; and God smote him there for his error ; and there he died by the ark of God . * And David was displeased , because the LORD had broken forth upon Uzzah ; and that place was called Perez-uzzah , unto this day * And David was afraid of the LORD that day ; and he said : 'How shall the ark of the LORD come unto me ?' * So David would not remove the ark of the LORD unto him into the city of David ; but David carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite . * And the ark of the LORD remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months ; and the LORD blessed Obed-edom , and all his house . * And it was told king David , saying : 'The LORD hath blessed the house of Obed-edom , and all that pertaineth unto him , because of the ark of God .' And David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the city of David with joy . * And it was so , that when they that bore the ark of the LORD had gone six paces , he sacrificed an ox and a fatling . * And David danced before the LORD with all his might ; and David was girded with a linen ephod . * So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting , and with the sound of the horn . * And it was so , as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David , that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window , and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD ; and she despised him in her heart . * And they brought in the ark of the LORD , and set it in its place , in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it ; and David offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before the LORD . * And when David had made an end of offering the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings , he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts . * And he dealt among all the people , even among the whole multitude of Israel , both to men and women , to every one a cake of bread , and a cake made in a pan , and a sweet cake . So all the people departed every one to his house . * Then David returned to bless his household . And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David , and said : 'How did the king of Israel get him honour to-day , who uncovered himself to-day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants , as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself !' * And David said unto Michal : 'Before the LORD , who chose me above thy father , and above all his house , to appoint me prince over the people of the LORD , over Israel , before the LORD will I make merry . * And I will be yet more vile than thus , and will be base in mine own sight ; and with the handmaids whom thou hast spoken of , with them will I get me honour .' * And Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death .
