1 Chronicles

ESV

Chapter 13

¹David consulted with the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, with every leader. ²And David said to all the assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you and if it is the will of the LORD our God, let us send abroad to our brothers in all the lands of Israel, and with them to the priests and Levites in the cities with their pasturelands, that they may rally to us. ³Then let us bring again the ark of our God to us, for we did not seek it in the days of Saul.” ⁴All the assembly agreed to do so, for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people. ⁵So David assembled all Israel from the Shihor of Egypt to the entrance of Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim. ⁶And David and all Israel went up to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath-jearim that belongs to Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the name of the LORD who dwells between the cherubim. ⁷And they carried the ark of God on a new cart, from the house of Abinadab, and Uzzah and Ahio were driving the cart. ⁸And David and all Israel were celebrating before God with all their might, with song and lyres and harps and tambourines and cymbals and trumpets. ⁹And when they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzzah put out his hand to take hold of the ark, for the oxen stumbled. ¹⁰And 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. ¹¹And David was angry because the LORD had broken out against Uzzah. And that place is called Perez-uzzah to this day. ¹²And David was afraid of God that day, and he said, “How can I bring the ark of God home to me?” ¹³So David did not take the ark home into the city of David, but took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite. ¹⁴And the ark of God remained with the household of Obed-edom in his house three months. And the LORD blessed the household of Obed-edom and all that he had.
