Then
David consulted with the
captains of the
thousands and the
hundreds, even with
every leader.

David said to
all the
assembly of
Israel,
"If it seems
good to you, and if it is from the
LORD our
God, let us
send everywhere to our
kinsmen who
remain in
all the
land of
Israel, also to the
priests and
Levites who are with them in their
cities with
pasture lands, that they may
meet with us;

and let us
bring back the
ark of our
God to us, for we did not
seek it in the
days of
Saul."

Then
all the
assembly said that they would
do so, for the
thing was
right in the
eyes of
all the
people.

So
David assembled all Israel together, from the
Shihor of
Egypt even to the
entrance of
Hamath, to
bring the
ark of
God from
Kiriath-jearim.

David and
all Israel went up to
Baalah, that is, to
Kiriath-jearim,
which belongs to
Judah, to
bring up from
there the
ark of
God, the
LORD who is
enthroned above the
cherubim,
where His
name is
called.

They
carried the
ark of
God on a
new cart from the
house of
Abinadab, and
Uzza and
Ahio drove the
cart.

David and
all Israel were
celebrating before God with
all their
might, even with
songs and with
lyres,
harps,
tambourines,
cymbals and with
trumpets.

When they
came to the
threshing floor of
Chidon,
Uzza put out his
hand to
hold the
ark,
because the
oxen nearly
upset it.

The
anger of the
LORD burned against
Uzza, so He
struck him
down because * he
put out his
hand to the
ark; and he
died there before God.

Then
David became angry because of the
LORD'S outburst * against
Uzza; and he
called that
place Perez-uzza to
this day.

David was
afraid of
God that
day,
saying,
"How can I
bring the
ark of
God home to me?"

So
David did not
take the
ark with him to the
city of
David, but
took it
aside to the
house of
Obed-edom the
Gittite.

Thus the
ark of
God remained with the
family of
Obed-edom in his
house three months; and the
LORD blessed the
family of
Obed-edom with
all that he had.
