I Chronicles
Chapter 13
1
And David consulted
with
the captains of thousands and hundreds,
and
with every leader.
2
And David said unto all the congregation of Israel,
"If
it seem good unto you,
and
that it be of Jehovah/God our 'Elohiym/Godhead,
let
us send abroad unto our brethren everywhere,
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. 3
And
let us bring again the ark of our 'Elohiym/Godhead to us . . .
for
we inquired not at it in the days of Saul."
4
And all the congregation said that they would do so . . .
for
the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
5
So David gathered all Israel together,
from
Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of Hemath,
to
bring the ark of 'Elohiym/Godhead from Kirjathjearim.
6
And David went up, and all Israel,
to
Baalah, that is, to Kirjathjearim,
which
belonged to Judah,
to
bring up there the ark of 'Elohiym/Godhead Jehovah/God,
Who
dwells between the cherubim,
whose
name is called on it.
7
And they carried the ark of 'Elohiym/Godhead
in
a new cart out of the house of Abinadab.
And
Uzza and Ahio drove the cart.
8
And David and all Israel played before 'Elohiym/Godhead
with
all their might, and with singing, and with harps,
and
with psalteries, and with timbrels,
and
with cymbals, and with trumpets.
9
And when they came unto the threshing-floor of Chidon,
Uzza
put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.
10
And the anger of Jehovah/God was kindled against Uzza,
and
He smote him, because he put his hand to the ark.
And
there he died before 'Elohiym/Godhead.
11
And David was displeased,
because
Jehovah/God
'broken
and destroyed'
{parats parats - very strong when doubled}
upon
Uzza.
Therefore
that place is called Perezuzza/"Perets `Uzza' "
to
this day.
12
And David was afraid of 'Elohiym/Godhead that day, saying,
How
shall I bring the ark of 'Elohiym/Godhead home to me?
13
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.
14
And the ark of 'Elohiym/Godhead
remained
with the family of Obededom
in
his house three months.
And
Jehovah/God blessed the house of Obededom,
and
all that he had.
