*
And David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds ,
and with every leader .
*
And David said unto all the congregation of Israel ,
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 ,
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 .
*
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 .
*
And David went up ,
and all Israel ,
to Baalah ,
that is ,
to Kirjathjearim ,
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 to 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 the Gittite .
*
And the ark of God remained with the family of Obededom in his house three months .
And the LORD blessed the house of Obededom ,
and all that he had .
