1 Chronicles 13
- 1And David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, and with every leader.
- 2And David said to all the congregation of Israel, If it seem good to you, and that it be of the Lord our God, let us send abroad to our brothers and sisters every where, that are left in all the land of Israel, and with them also to the priests and Levites who are in their cities and pasturelands, that they may gather themselves to us:
- 3And let us bring again the ark of our God to us. For we did not seek it in the days of Saul.
- 4And all the congregation said that they would do so. For the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
- 5So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt even to the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjathjearim.
- 6And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kirjathjearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God the Lord, that is enthroned between the cherubim, whose name is called on it.
- 7And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart.
- 8And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing, and with harps, and with lyres, and with tambourines, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.
- 9And when they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzza put out his hand to hold the ark, for the oxen stumbled.
- 10And the anger of the Lord burned against Uzza, and he struck him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God.
- 11And David was displeased, because the Lord had burst out against Uzza: therefore that place is called Perezuzza to this day.
- 12And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God home to me?
- 13So David did not bring the ark home to himself to the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gittite.
- 14And 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.
