1And David took counsel with the Princes of thousands and hundreds, and all Princes and Leaders and Rulers of Israel. 2And David said to all the assembly of Israel: “If it is what is beautiful in your eyes, we will seek from LORD JEHOVAH our God that we may repair for ourselves the breach of our brethren who stand in all the cities of Israel, and we will settle Priests and Levites with them in their towns and in their hamlets, and they will be assembled and they will come to our presence 3And let them pray before LORD JEHOVAH our God and inquire from him because of our sins, because we were not praying before him in days of Shaul.” 4And all the assembly were saying to do so.

5And David gathered all Israel from the river of Egypt and unto the entrance of Antioch, to bring the ark of LORD JEHOVAH from Quryath Narayn. 6And David and all Israel came up to Quryath Narayn that is at the border of the land of the tribe of Yehuda, to bring up from there the Ark of LORD JEHOVAH God who sits above the High Cherubim, upon whom his name is called. 7And they set the ark of LORD JEHOVAH in a new wagon, and they took it and they went out from the house of Abinadab, and Aza and his brothers were driving the wagon. 8And David and all Israel were able before LORD JEHOVAH in strength and with songs and with harps and with tambourines and with cymbals.

9And they came to the threshing floor of Ramin, and Aza reached his hand to support the Ark, because the bulls were running them to the threshing floor. 10And LORD JEHOVAH was provoked against Aza, and he struck him there, because he had reached his hand upon the ark, and he died there before the ark. 11And David grieved because LORD JEHOVAH had broken through a breach on Aza, and the name of that place has been called “The breach of Aza” until today. 12And David was afraid of LORD JEHOVAH on that day, and he said: “How will I bring the ark of LORD JEHOVAH with me?” 13And David was unwilling to bring the ark of LORD JEHOVAH with him to the city of David, and David had said to bring it to the house of UbarAdwam the Gittite. 14And the ark of LORD JEHOVAH sat in the house of UbarAdwam the Gittite three months, and LORD JEHOVAH blessed the house of UbarAdwam the Gittite and everything that he had.
