* And David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds me #ah #, and with every leader . * And David said unto all the congregation of Israel Yisra #el #, If it seem good unto you , and that it be of the LORD our God , let us send abroad unto our brethren every where , that are left in all the land of Israel Yisra #el #, and with them also to the priests and Levites which are in their cities and suburbs , that they may gather themselves unto us : * And let us bring again the ark of our God to us : for we enquired not at it in the days of Saul Sha #uwl #. * And all the congregation said that they would do so : for the thing was right 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 Kirjathjearim Qiryath Y @#ariym #. * And David went up , and all Israel Yisra #el #, to Baalah Ba #alah #, that is , to Kirjathjearim Qiryath Y @#ariym #, which belonged to Judah , to bring up thence the ark of God the LORD , that dwelleth between the cherubims , whose name is called on it . * And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab : and Uzza and Ahio drave the cart . * And David and all Israel played before 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 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 before God . * And David was displeased , because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzza : wherefore that place is called Perezuzza Peretsto this day . * And David was afraid of God that day , saying , How shall I bring the ark of God home to me ? * So David brought not the ark home to himself to the city of David , but carried it aside into the house of Obededom #Obedthe Gittite . * And the ark of God remained with the family of Obededom #Obedin his house three months . And the LORD blessed the house of Obededom #Obed , and all that he had .
