New King James Version

International Standard Version

1Then David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, and with every leader.

1Later, David conferred with every officer in charge of groups of thousands and groups of hundreds.

2And David said to all the assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if it is of the LORD our God, let us send out to our brethren everywhere who are left in all the land of Israel, and with them to the priests and Levites who are in their cities and their common-lands, that they may gather together to us;

2Then he addressed the entire community of Israel, "If it seems good to you and something from the Lord our God, let's spread word to all of our relatives who remain throughout the entire land of Israel, including the priests and descendants of Levi in the cities and pasture lands, so they can gather together with us.

3and let us bring the ark of our God back to us, for we have not inquired at it since the days of Saul.”

3Then let's bring the Ark of God back to us, because we didn't consult it during Saul's reign."

4Then all the assembly said that they would do so, for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.

4The entire community consented, because doing so pleased all the people.

5So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor in Egypt to as far as the entrance of Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjath Jearim.

5So David assembled all of Israel—from the Shihor River of Egypt to Lebo-hamath—in order to bring the Ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.

6And David and all Israel went up to Baalah, to Kirjath Jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God the LORD, who dwells between the cherubim, where His name is proclaimed.

6David, accompanied by all of Israel, went up to Baalah (the former name of Kiriath-jearim), which belonged to Judah, to bring from there the Ark of God, the LORD, who sits enthroned on the cherubim, and who is called the Name.

7So they carried the ark of God on a new cart from the house of Abinadab, and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart.

7They mounted the Ark of God on a new cart, bringing it from Abinadab's home, with Uzzah and Ahio driving the cart.

8Then David and all Israel played music before God with all their might, with singing, on harps, on stringed instruments, on tambourines, on cymbals, and with trumpets.

8David and all of Israel were dancing in the presence of God with all of their might with songs, harps, tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets.

9And when they came to Chidon’s threshing floor, Uzza put out his hand to hold the ark, for the oxen stumbled.

9As they approached Chidon's threshing floor, Uzzah put out his hand to steady the ark, because the oxen had stumbled.

10Then the anger of the LORD was aroused against Uzza, and He struck him because he put his hand to the ark; and he died there before God.

10Just then, the anger of the LORD blazed against Uzzah, and he struck him down because he had put his hand on the ark, and he died right there in the presence of God.

11And David became angry because of the LORD’s outbreak against Uzza; therefore that place is called Perez Uzza to this day.

11David flew into a rage because the LORD had killed Uzzah. As a result, that place was called Perez-uzzah to this day.

12David was afraid of God that day, saying, “How can I bring the ark of God to me?”

12But David feared God that day, and asked "How am I to bring the Ark of God to me?"

13So David would not move the ark with him into the City of David, but took it aside into the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.

13As a result, David would not take the ark into the City of David for it to be in his care. Instead, he took it to the home of Obed-edom the Gittite.

14The ark of God remained with the family of Obed-Edom in his house three months. And the LORD blessed the house of Obed-Edom and all that he had.

14So the Ark of God remained in the care of Obed-edom's household for three months, and God blessed Obed-edom's household, along with everyone associated with it.
