chapter_1_Chronicles 13
1 Chronicles 13:1: And David consulteth with the heads of the thousands, and of the hundreds, every leader, 1 Chronicles 13:2: and David saith to all the assembly of Israel, 'If unto you it be good, and from Jehovah our God it hath broken forth &#8212; we send unto our brethren, those left in all the lands of Israel, and with them the priests and the Levites, in the cities of their suburbs, and they are gathered unto us, 1 Chronicles 13:3: and we bring round the ark of our God unto us, for we sought Him not in the days of Saul.' 1 Chronicles 13:4: And all the assembly say to do so, for the thing is right in the eyes of all the people. 1 Chronicles 13:5: And David assembleth all Israel from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering in of Hamath, to bring in the ark of God from Kirjath-Jearim, 1 Chronicles 13:6: and David goeth up, and all Israel, to Baalah, unto Kirjath-Jearim that is to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God Jehovah, inhabiting the cherubs, where the Name is called on. 1 Chronicles 13:7: And they place the ark of God on a new cart, from the house of Abinadab, and Uzza and Ahio are leading the cart, 1 Chronicles 13:8: and David and all Israel are playing before God, with all strength, and with songs, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets. 1 Chronicles 13:9: And they come in unto the threshing-floor of Chidon, and Uzza putteth forth his hand to seize the ark, for the oxen were released, 1 Chronicles 13:10: and the anger of Jehovah is kindled against Uzza, and He smiteth him, because that he hath put forth his hand on the ark, and he dieth there before God. 1 Chronicles 13:11: And it is displeasing to David, because Jehovah hath made a breach upon Uzza, and one calleth that place 'Breach of Uzza' unto this day. 1 Chronicles 13:12: And David feareth God on that day, saying, 'How do I bring in unto me the ark of God?' 1 Chronicles 13:13: And David hath not turned aside the ark unto himself, unto the city of David, and turneth it aside unto the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite. 1 Chronicles 13:14: And the ark of God dwelleth with the household of Obed-Edom, in his house, three months, and Jehovah blesseth the house of Obed-Edom, and all that he hath.
