1And David gathered again every chosen one in Israel, thirty thousand,
1And David got together all the fighting-men of Israel to the number of thirty thousand;
2and David riseth and goeth, and all the people who <FI>are<Fi> with him, from Baale-Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God, whose name hath been called--the name of Jehovah of Hosts, inhabiting the cherubs--upon it.
2And David, and all the people who were with him, went to Baal of Judah to get the ark of God, over which the holy name is named, the name of the Lord of armies, whose place is between the winged ones.
3And they cause the ark of God to ride on a new cart, and lift it up from the house of Abinadab, which <FI>is<Fi> in the height, and Uzzah and Ahio sons of Abinadab are leading the new cart;
3And they put the ark of God on a new cart and took it out of the house of Abinadab which was on the hill: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, were the drivers of the cart.
4and they lift it up from the house of Abinadab, which <FI>is<Fi> in the height, with the ark of God, and Ahio is going before the ark,
4And Uzzah went by the side of the ark, while Ahio went before it.
5and David and all the house of Israel are playing before Jehovah, with all kinds of <FI>instruments<Fi> of fir-wood, even with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cornets, and with cymbals.
5And David and all the men of Israel made melody before the Lord with all their power, with songs and with corded instruments and instruments of brass.
6And they come unto the threshing-floor of Nachon, and Uzzah putteth forth <FI>his hand<Fi> unto the ark of God, and layeth hold on it, for they released the oxen;
6And when they came to Nacon's grain-floor, Uzzah put his hand on the ark of God to keep it safe in its place, for the oxen were out of control.
7and the anger of Jehovah burneth against Uzzah, and God smiteth him there for the error, and he dieth there by the ark of God.
7And the wrath of the Lord, burning against Uzzah, sent destruction on him because he had put his hand on the ark, and death came to him there by the ark of God.
8And it is displeasing to David, because that Jehovah hath broken forth a breach upon Uzzah, and <FI>one<Fi> calleth that place Perez-Uzzah, unto this day;
8And David was angry because of the Lord's outburst of wrath against Uzzah: and he gave that place the name Perez-uzzah, which is its name to this day.
9and David feareth Jehovah on that day, and saith, `How doth the ark of Jehovah come in unto me?'
9And such was David's fear of the Lord that day, that he said, How may I let the ark of God come to me?
10And David hath not been willing to turn aside unto himself the ark of Jehovah, to the city of David, and David turneth it aside to the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite,
10So David did not let the ark of the Lord come back to him to the town of David: but had it turned away and put into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
11and the ark of Jehovah doth inhabit the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite three months, and Jehovah blesseth Obed-Edom and all his house.
11And the ark of the Lord was in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite for three months: and the Lord sent a blessing on Obed-edom and all his family.
12And it is declared to king David, saying, `Jehovah hath blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that he hath, because of the ark of God;' and David goeth and bringeth up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the city of David with joy.
12And they said to King David, The blessing of the Lord is on the family of Obed-edom and on all he has, because of the ark of God. And David went and took the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the town of David with joy.
13And it cometh to pass, when those bearing the ark of Jehovah have stepped six steps, that he sacrificeth an ox and a fatling.
13And when those who were lifting the ark of the Lord had gone six steps, he made an offering of an ox and a fat young beast.
14And David is dancing with all strength before Jehovah, and David is girded with a linen ephod,
14And David, clothed in a linen ephod, was dancing before the Lord with all his strength.
15and David and all the house of Israel are bringing up the ark of Jehovah with shouting, and with the voice of a trumpet,
15So David and all the men of Israel took up the ark of the Lord with cries of joy and sounding of horns.
16and it hath come to pass, the ark of Jehovah hath come in to the city of David, and Michal daughter of Saul, hath looked through the window, and seeth king David moving and dancing before Jehovah, and despiseth him in her heart.
16And when the ark of the Lord came into the town of David, Michal, Saul's daughter, looking out of the window, saw King David dancing and jumping before the Lord; and to her mind he seemed foolish.
17And they bring in the ark of Jehovah, and set it up in its place, in the midst of the tent which David hath spread out for it, and David causeth to ascend burnt-offerings before Jehovah, and peace-offerings.
17And they took in the ark of the Lord, and put it in its place inside the tent which David had put up for it: and David made burned offerings and peace-offerings to the Lord.
18And David finisheth from causing to ascend the burnt-offering, and the peace-offerings, and blesseth the people in the name of Jehovah of Hosts,
18And after David had made the burned offerings and the peace-offerings, he gave the people a blessing in the name of the Lord of armies.
19and he apportioneth to all the people, to all the multitude of Israel, from man even unto woman, to each, one cake of bread, and one eshpar, and one ashisha, and all the people go, each to his house.
19And he gave to every man and woman among all the people, among all the masses of Israel, a cake of bread and a measure of wine and a cake of dry grapes. Then all the people went away, every man to his house.
20And David turneth back to bless his house, and Michal daughter of Saul goeth out to meet David, and saith, `How honourable to-day was the king of Israel, who was uncovered to-day before the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain ones is openly uncovered!'
20Then David came back to give a blessing to his family. And Michal, Saul's daughter, came out to him and said, How full of glory was the king of Israel today, who let himself be seen uncovered by his servant-girls like a foolish person uncovering himself without shame!
21And David saith unto Michal, `--Before Jehovah, who fixed on me above thy father, and above all his house, to appoint me leader over the people of Jehovah, and over Israel, --yea, I played before Jehovah;
21And David said to Michal, I was dancing before the Lord, who put me over your father and all his sons, to make me a ruler over the people of the Lord, over his people Israel: and I will go on playing before the Lord;
