1 Chronicles 13

1And David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, with every leader. 2And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, If good unto you, and of the Yahuah our Elohim, let us send abroad unto our brethren every where, left in all the land of Israel, and with them to the priests and Levites in their cities suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto us: 3And let us bring again the ark of our Elohim to us: for we enquired not at it in the days of Saul. 4And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people. 5So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of Elohim from Kirjathjearim. 6And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, , to Kirjathjearim, which to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of Elohim the Yahuah, that dwelleth the cherubims, whose name is called . 7And they carried the ark of Elohim in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave the cart. 8And David and all Israel played before Elohim with all might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets. 9And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled. 10And the anger of the Yahuah was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before Elohim. 11And David was displeased, because the Yahuah had made a breach upon Uzza: therefore that place is called Perezuzza to this day. 12And David was afraid of Elohim that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of Elohim to me? 13So David brought not the ark to himself to the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gittite. 14And the ark of Elohim remained with the family of Obededom in his house three months. And the Yahuah blessed the house of Obededom, and all that he had.
