* Again , David gathered together (8676 ) all the chosen men of Israel Yisra #el #, thirty thousand . * And David arose , and went with all the people that were with him from Baale of Judah Ba #aley , to bring up from thence the ark of God , whose name is called by the name of the LORD of hosts that dwelleth between the cherubims . * And they set the ark of God upon a new cart , and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah Gib #ah #: and Uzzah and Ahio , the sons of Abinadab , drave the new cart . * And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which was at Gibeah Gib #ah #, accompanying the ark of God : and Ahio went before the ark . * And David and all the house of Israel played before the LORD on all manner of instruments made of fir wood , even on harps , and on psalteries , and on timbrels , and on cornets , and on cymbals . * And when they came to Nachons threshingfloor , Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God , and took hold of it ; for the oxen shook it . * 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 made a breach upon Uzzah : and he called the name of the place Perezuzzah Peretsto this day . * And David was afraid of the LORD that day , and said , How shall the ark of the LORD come to 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 Obededom #Obedthe Gittite . * And the ark of the LORD continued in the house of Obededom #Obedthe Gittite three months : and the LORD blessed Obededom #Obed , and all his household . * And it was told king David , saying , The LORD hath blessed the house of Obededom #Obed , and all that pertaineth unto him , because of the ark of God . So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obededom #Obedinto the city of David with gladness . * And it was so , that when they that bare the ark of the LORD had gone six paces tsa #ad #, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings . * 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 t @ruw #ah #, and with the sound of the trumpet . * And as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David , Michal Sauls daughter looked through a 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 his place , in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it : and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD . * And as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt offerings and 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 Yisra #el #, as well to the women as men , to every one a cake of bread , and a good piece of flesh , and a flagon of wine . 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 glorious was the king of Israel 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 , It was before the LORD , which chose me before thy father , and before all his house , to appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD , over Israel Yisra #el #: therefore will I play before the LORD . * And I will yet be more vile than thus zo #th #, and will be base in mine own sight : and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of , of them shall I be had in honour . * Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death .
