3
and let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we didn't seek it in the days of Sha'ul.
4
All the assembly said that they would do so; for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
5
So David assembled all Yisra'el together, from the Shichor [the brook] of Mitzrayim even to the entrance of Hamat, to bring the ark of God from Kiryat-Ye`arim.
6
David went up, and all Yisra'el, to Ba`alah, [that is], to Kiryat-Ye`arim, which belonged to Yehudah, to bring up from there the ark of God the LORD that sits [above] the Keruvim, that is called by the Name.
7
They carried the ark of God on a new cart, [and brought it] out of the house of Avinadav: and Uzza and Achyo drove the cart.
8
David and all Yisra'el played before God with all their might, even with songs, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.
9
When they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.
10
The anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he struck him, because he put forth his hand to the ark; and there he died before God.
11
David was displeased, because the LORD had broken forth on Uzza; and he called that place Peretz-Uzzah, to this day.
12
David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God home to me?
13
So David didn't move the ark to him into the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of `Oved-'Edom the Gittite.
