And David consulted
with the captains of
-- --
thousands, and of hundreds,
and with all the commanders,
2 And he said to all the
assembly of Israel: If it please
you: and if the word which
I speak come from the Lord
our God, let us send to the rest
of our brethren into all the
countries of Israel, and to the
priests, and the Levites, that
dwell in the suburbs of the
cities, to gather themselves to
us,
3 And let us bring again
the ark of our God to us:
for we sought it not in the
days of Saul.
4 And all the multitude
answered that it should be so:
for the word pleased all the
people.
5 So David assembled all
Israel from Sihor of Egypt,
even to the entering into Emath,
to bring the ark of God
from Cariathiarim.
6 And David went up,
with all the men of Israel to
the hill of Cariathiarim which
is in Juda, to bring thence the
ark of the Lord God sitting
upon the Cherubim, where
his name is called upon.
7 And they carried the ark
of God upon a new cart, out
of the house of Abinadab.
And Oza and his brother
drove the cart.
8 And David and all Israel
played before God with all
their might with hymns, and
with harps and with psalteries,
and timbrels, and cymbals,
and trumpets,
9 And when they came to
the floor of note Chidon, Oza
put forth his hand, to hold
up the ark: for the ox being
wanton had made it lean a
little on one side.
10 And the Lord was angry
with Oxa,12Q0023 and struck him,
because he had touched the
ark: and he died there before
the Lord.
11 And David was troubled,
because the Lord had divided
Oza: and he called that
place the Breach of Oza to
this day.
12 And he feared God at
that time, saying: How can
I bring in the ark of God to
me?
13 And therefore he
brought it not home to himself,
that is, into the city of
David, but carried it aside into
the house of Obededom
the Gethite.
14 And the ark of God remained
in the house of Obededom
three months: and the
Lord blessed his house, and all
that he had.
