2
David arose, and went with all the people who were with him, from Ba`ale-Yeudah, to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the Name, even the name of the LORD of Hosts who sits [above] the Keruvim.
3
They set the ark of God on a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Avinadav that was in the hill: and Uzzah and Achyo, the sons of Avinadav, drove the new cart.
4
They brought it out of the house of Avinadav, which was in the hill, with the ark of God: and Achyo went before the ark.
5
David and all the house of Yisra'el played before the LORD with all manner of [instruments made of] fir-wood, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with castanets, and with cymbals.
6
When they came to the threshing floor of Nakhon, Uzzah put forth [his hand] to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen stumbled.
7
The anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God struck him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.
8
David was displeased, because the LORD had broken forth on Uzzah; and he called that place Peretz-Uzzah, to this day.
9
David was afraid of the LORD that day; and he said, How shall the ark of the LORD come to me?
10
So David would not remove the ark of the LORD to him into the city of David; but David carried it aside into the house of `Oved-'Edom the Gittite.
11
The ark of the LORD remained in the house of `Oved-'Edom the Gittite three months: and the LORD blessed `Oved-'Edom, and all his house.
12
It was told king David, saying, the LORD has blessed the house of `Oved-'Edom, and all that pertains to him, because of the ark of God. David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of `Oved-'Edom into the city of David with joy.
