1Chronicles - Chapter 13 | King James Version (KJV)

  • 1. And David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, {cf15I and} with every leader.
  • 2. And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, If {cf15I it seem} good unto you, and {cf15I that it be} of the LORD our God, let us send abroad unto our brethren every where, {cf15I that are} left in all the land of Israel, and with them {cf15I also} to the priests and Levites {cf15I which are} in their cities {cf15I and} suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto us:
  • 3. And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we enquired 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 God from Kirjathjearim.
  • 6. And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, {cf15I that is}, to Kirjathjearim, which {cf15I belonged} to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the LORD, that dwelleth {cf15I between} the cherubims, whose name is called {cf15I on it}.
  • 7. And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave the cart.
  • 8. And David and all Israel played before God with all {cf15I 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 threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.
  • 10. And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God.
  • 11. And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perezuzza to this day.
  • 12. And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God {cf15I home} to me?
  • 13. So David brought not the ark {cf15I home} to himself to the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gittite.
  • 14. And the ark of God remained with the family of Obededom in his house three months. And the LORD blessed the house of Obededom, and all that he had.
