KJV_Strong : 1 Chronicles 13
1. And David[H1732] consulted[H3289] with[H5973] the captains[H8269] of thousands[H505] and hundreds,[H3967] and with every[H3605] leader.[H5057]
2. And David[H1732] said[H559] unto all[H3605] the congregation[H6951] of Israel,[H3478] If[H518] it seem good[H2895] unto[H5921] you, and that it be of[H4480] the LORD[H3068] our God,[H430] let us send[H7971] abroad[H6555] unto[H5921] our brethren[H251] every where, that are left[H7604] in all[H3605] the land[H776] of Israel,[H3478] and with[H5973] them also to the priests[H3548] and Levites[H3881] which are in their cities[H5892] and suburbs,[H4054] that they may gather themselves[H6908] unto[H413] us:
3. And let us bring again[H5437] [H853] the ark[H727] of our God[H430] to[H413] us: for[H3588] we inquired[H1875] not[H3808] at it in the days[H3117] of Saul.[H7586]
4. And all[H3605] the congregation[H6951] said[H559] that they would do[H6213] so:[H3651] for[H3588] the thing[H1697] was right[H3474] in the eyes[H5869] of all[H3605] the people.[H5971]
5. So David[H1732] gathered[H6950] [H853] all[H3605] Israel[H3478] together, from[H4480] Shihor[H7883] of Egypt[H4714] even unto[H5704] the entering[H935] of Hemath,[H2574] to bring[H935] [H853] the ark[H727] of God[H430] from Kirjath-jearim.[H4480] [H7157]
6. And David[H1732] went up,[H5927] and all[H3605] Israel,[H3478] to Baalah,[H1173] that is, to[H413] Kirjath-jearim,[H7157] which[H834] belonged to Judah,[H3063] to bring up[H5927] thence[H4480] [H8033] [H853] the ark[H727] of God[H430] the LORD,[H3068] that dwelleth[H3427] between the cherubims,[H3742] whose[H834] name[H8034] is called[H7121] on it.
7. And they carried[H7392] [H853] the ark[H727] of God[H430] in[H5921] a new[H2319] cart[H5699] out of the house[H4480] [H1004] of Abinadab:[H41] and Uzza[H5798] and Ahio[H283] drove[H5090] the cart.[H5699]
8. And David[H1732] and all[H3605] Israel[H3478] played[H7832] before[H6440] God[H430] with all[H3605] their might,[H5797] and with singing,[H7892] and with harps,[H3658] and with psalteries,[H5035] and with timbrels,[H8596] and with cymbals,[H4700] and with trumpets.[H2689]
9. And when they came[H935] unto[H5704] the threshingfloor[H1637] of Chidon,[H3592] Uzza[H5798] put forth[H7971] [H853] his hand[H3027] to hold[H270] [H853] the ark;[H727] for[H3588] the oxen[H1241] stumbled.[H8058]
10. And the anger[H639] of the LORD[H3068] was kindled[H2734] against Uzza,[H5798] and he smote[H5221] [H5921] him, because[H5921] [H834] he put[H7971] his hand[H3027] to[H5921] the ark:[H727] and there[H8033] he died[H4191] before[H6440] God.[H430]
11. And David[H1732] was displeased,[H2734] because[H3588] the LORD[H3068] had made[H6555] a breach[H6556] upon Uzza:[H5798] wherefore that[H1931] place[H4725] is called[H7121] Perez-uzza[H6560] to[H5704] this[H2088] day.[H3117]
12. And David[H1732] was afraid[H3372] [H853] of God[H430] that[H1931] day,[H3117] saying,[H559] How[H1963] shall I bring[H935] [H853] the ark[H727] of God[H430] home to[H413] me?
13. So David[H1732] brought[H5493] not[H3808] [H853] the ark[H727] home to[H413] himself to[H413] the city[H5892] of David,[H1732] but carried it aside[H5186] into[H413] the house[H1004] of Obed-edom[H5654] the Gittite.[H1663]
14. And the ark[H727] of God[H430] remained[H3427] with[H5973] the family[H1004] of Obed-edom[H5654] in his house[H1004] three[H7969] months.[H2320] And the LORD[H3068] blessed[H1288] [H853] the house[H1004] of Obed-edom,[H5654] and all[H3605] that[H834] he had.
