1

 aNow Davidh1732 againh3254h5750 gatheredh622 allh3605 the chosenh977 men of Israelh3478, thirtyh7970 thousandh505.

2

And Davidh1732 aroseh6965 and wenth1980 with allh3605 the peopleh5971a whoh834 were with him to  1 aBaale-judahh1184, to bringh5927 up from thereh8033 the arkh727 of Godh430 whichh834 is calledh7121 by the  bNameh8034, the very nameh8034 of the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635 who  cis  2enthronedh3427 above the cherubimh3742.

3

They  1placedh7392 the arkh727 of Godh430 on  aa newh2319 carth5699 that they might bringh5375 it from the househ1004 of Abinadabh41 whichh834 was on the hillh1389; and Uzzahh5798 and Ahioh283, the sonsh1121 of Abinadabh41, were leadingh5090a the newh2319 carth5699.

4

So  athey broughth5375 it with the arkh727 of Godh430 from the househ1004 of Abinadabh41, whichh834 was on the hillh1389; and Ahioh283 was walkingh1980 aheadh6440 of the arkh727.

5

Meanwhile, Davidh1732 and allh3605 the househ1004 of Israelh3478  awere celebratingh7832 beforeh6440 the LORDh3068  bwith allh3605 kinds of instruments made of  1firh1265 woodh6086, and with lyresh3658, harpsh5035b, tambourinesh8596, castanetsh4517 and cymbalsh6767d.

6

But when they cameh935 to the  athreshingh1637 floorh1637 of Naconh5225b, Uzzahh5798  breachedh7971 out towardh413 the arkh727 of Godh430 and tookh270 holdh270 of it, for the oxenh1241 nearly upseth8058 it.

7

And the angerh639 of the LORDh3068 burnedh2734 against Uzzahh5798, and  aGodh430 struckh5221 him downh5221 thereh8033 for  1his irreverenceh7944; and he diedh4191 thereh8033 by the arkh727 of Godh430.

8

Davidh1732 becameh2734 angryh2734 becauseh5921h834  1of the LORD'Sh3068 outbursth6555h6556 against Uzzahh5798, and that placeh4725 is calledh7121  2Perez-uzzahh6560 to thish2088 dayh3117.

9

So  aDavidh1732 was afraidh3372a of the LORDh3068 that dayh3117; and he saidh559, "Howh349 can the arkh727 of the LORDh3068 comeh935 to me?"

10

And Davidh1732 was unwillingh3808h14 to moveh5493 the arkh727 of the LORDh3068 into the cityh5892b of Davidh1732 with him; but Davidh1732 tookh5186 it asideh5186 to the househ1004 of  aObed-edomh5654 the Gittiteh1663.

11

Thus the arkh727 of the LORDh3068 remainedh3427 in the househ1004 of Obed-edomh5654 the Gittiteh1663 threeh7969 monthsh2320, and the LORDh3068  ablessedh1288 Obed-edomh5654 and allh3605 his householdh1004.

The Ark Is Brought to Jerusalem

12

Now it was toldh5046 Kingh4428 Davidh1732, sayingh559, "The LORDh3068 has blessedh1288 the househ1004 of Obed-edomh5654 and allh3605 that belongs to him, on accounth5668 of the arkh727 of Godh430."  aDavidh1732 wenth1980 and broughth5927 up the arkh727 of Godh430 from the househ1004 of Obed-edomh5654 into  bthe cityh5892b of Davidh1732 with gladnessh8057.

13

And so it was, that whenh3588 the  abearersh5375 of the arkh727 of the LORDh3068 had goneh6805 sixh8337a pacesh6806, he sacrificedh2076 an  boxh7794 and a fatlingh4806.

14

And  aDavidh1732 was dancingh3769 beforeh6440 the LORDh3068 with allh3605 his mighth5797, and Davidh1732 was  1 bwearingh2296 a linenh906 ephodh646.

15

So Davidh1732 and allh3605 the househ1004 of Israelh3478 were bringingh5927 up the arkh727 of the LORDh3068 with shoutingh8643 and the soundh6963 of the trumpeth7782.

16

Then it happenedh1961 as the arkh727 of the LORDh3068 cameh935 into the cityh5892b of Davidh1732 that  aMichalh4324 the daughterh1323 of Saulh7586 lookedh8259 out of the windowh2474 and sawh7200 Kingh4428 Davidh1732 leapingh6339 and dancingh3769 beforeh6440 the LORDh3068; and she despisedh959 him in her hearth3820.

17

So they broughth935 in the arkh727 of the LORDh3068 and seth3322 it  ain its placeh4725 insideh8432 the tenth168 whichh834 Davidh1732 had pitchedh5186 for it; and  bDavidh1732 offeredh5927 burnth5930a offeringsh5930a and peaceh8002 offeringsh8002 beforeh6440 the LORDh3068.

18

When Davidh1732 had finishedh3615 offeringh5927 the burnth5930a offeringh5930a and the peaceh8002 offeringh8002,  ahe blessedh1288 the peopleh5971a in the nameh8034 of the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635.

19

Further, he distributedh2505a to allh3605 the peopleh5971a, to allh3605 the multitudeh1995 of Israelh3478, bothh4480 to menh376 and womenh802, a cakeh2471 of breadh3899 and oneh259 of datesh829 and oneh259 of raisinsh809 to eachh376 oneh376. Then allh3605 the peopleh5971a departedh1980 eachh376 to his househ1004.

20

But when Davidh1732 returnedh7725 to blessh1288 his householdh1004, Michalh4324 the daughterh1323 of Saulh7586 cameh3318 out to meeth7122 Davidh1732 and saidh559, "Howh4100 the kingh4428 of Israelh3478 distinguishedh3513 himself todayh3117!  aHe uncoveredh1540 himself todayh3117 in the eyesh5869 of his servants'h5650 maidsh519 as oneh259 of the  bfoolishh7386 onesh7386 shamelesslyh1540 uncoversh1540 himself!"

21

So Davidh1732 saidh559 to Michalh4324, " aIt was beforeh6440 the LORDh3068, whoh834 choseh977 me aboveh4480 your fatherh1 and aboveh4480 allh3605 his househ1004, to appointh6680 me rulerh5057 overh5921 the peopleh5971a of the LORDh3068, overh5921 Israelh3478; therefore I will celebrateh7832 beforeh6440 the LORDh3068.

22

"I will be moreh5750 lightlyh7043 esteemedh7043 thanh4480 thish2088 and will be humbleh8217 in my own eyesh5869, but with the maidsh519 of whomh834 you have spokenh559, with them I will be distinguishedh3513."

23

Michalh4324 the daughterh1323 of Saulh7586 hadh1961 noh3808 childh3206 to the dayh3117 of her deathh4194.
