2 And he said to the whole assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if this is of the LORD our God, let us send word far and wide to the rest of our brothers in all the land of Israel, and also to the priests and Levites in their cities and pasturelands, so that they may join us. And David said to all the assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you and from the LORD our God, let us send abroad to our brothers who remain in all the lands of Israel, as well as to the priests and Levites in the cities that have pasturelands, that they may be gathered to us. And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, If it seem good unto you, and that it be of the LORD our God, let us send abroad unto our brethren every where, that are left in all the land of Israel, and with them also to the priests and Levites which are in their cities and suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto us: He then said to the whole assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you and if it is the will of the LORD our God, let us send word far and wide to the rest of our people throughout the territories of Israel, and also to the priests and Levites who are with them in their towns and pasturelands, to come and join us. Then he addressed the entire assembly of Israel as follows: “If you approve and if it is the will of the LORD our God, let us send messages to all the Israelites throughout the land, including the priests and Levites in their towns and pasturelands. Let us invite them to come and join us.
3 Then let us bring back the ark of our God, for we did not inquire of Him in the days of Saul.” Then let us bring again the ark of our God to us, for we did not seek it in the days of Saul.” And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we inquired not at it in the days of Saul. Let us bring the ark of our God back to us, for we did not inquire of it during the reign of Saul.” It is time to bring back the Ark of our God, for we neglected it during the reign of Saul.”
4 And because this proposal seemed right to all the people, the whole assembly agreed to it. All the assembly agreed to do so, for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people. And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people. The whole assembly agreed to do this, because it seemed right to all the people. The whole assembly agreed to this, for the people could see it was the right thing to do.

9 When they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark, because the oxen had stumbled.

And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled. When they came to the threshing floor of Kidon, Uzzah reached out his hand to steady the ark, because the oxen stumbled. But when they arrived at the threshing floor of Nacon, the oxen stumbled, and Uzzah reached out his hand to steady the Ark.
10 And the anger of the LORD burned against Uzzah, and He struck him down because he had put his hand on the ark. So he died there before God. And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah, and he struck him down because he put out his hand to the ark, and he died there before God. And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God. The LORD’s anger burned against Uzzah, and he struck him down because he had put his hand on the ark. So he died there before God.

11 Then David became angry because the LORD had burst forth against Uzzah. So he named that place Perez-uzzah, as it is called to this day. And David was angry because the LORD had broken out against Uzzah. And that place is called Perez-uzza to this day. And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perezuzza to this day. Then David was angry because the LORD’s wrath had broken out against Uzzah, and to this day that place is called Perez Uzzah. David was angry because the LORD’s anger had burst out against Uzzah. He named that place Perez-uzzah (which means “to burst out against Uzzah”), as it is still called today.

David was afraid of God that day and asked, “How can I ever bring the ark of God to me?” David was now afraid of God, and he asked, “How can I ever bring the Ark of God back into my care?”
13 So he did not move the ark with him to the City of David; instead, he took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite. So David did not take the ark home into the city of David, but took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite. So David brought not the ark home to himself to the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gittite. He did not take the ark to be with him in the City of David. Instead, he took it to the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite. So David did not move the Ark into the City of David. Instead, he took it to the house of Obed-edom of Gath.
14 Thus the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house for three months, and the LORD blessed his household and everything he owned.
