大卫舁约柜至俄别以东家

13 大卫与千夫长、百夫长,就是一切首领商议。 大卫以色列全会众说:“你们若以为美,见这事是出于耶和华我们的神,我们就差遣人走遍以色列地,见我们未来的弟兄,又见住在有郊野之城的祭司、利未人,使他们都到这里来聚集。 我们要把神的约柜运到我们这里来,因为在扫罗年间,我们没有在约柜前求问神。” 全会众都说可以如此行,这事在众民眼中都看为好。 于是大卫以色列人从埃及西曷河直到哈马口都招聚了来,要从基列耶琳将神的约柜运来。 大卫率领以色列众人上到巴拉,就是属犹大基列耶琳,要从那里将约柜运来,这约柜就是坐在二基路伯上耶和华神留名的约柜。 他们将神的约柜从亚比拿达的家里抬出来,放在新车上,乌撒亚希约赶车。 大卫以色列众人在神前用琴、瑟、锣、鼓、号作乐,极力跳舞歌唱。

到了基顿[a]的禾场,因为牛失前蹄[b]乌撒就伸手扶住约柜。 10 耶和华向他发怒,因他伸手扶住约柜击杀他,他就死在神面前。 11 大卫因耶和华击杀[c]乌撒,心里愁烦,就称那地方为毗列斯乌撒,直到今日。 12 那日大卫惧怕神,说:“神的约柜怎可运到我这里来?” 13 于是大卫不将约柜运进大卫的城,却运到迦特俄别以东的家中。 14 神的约柜在俄别以东家中三个月,耶和华赐福给俄别以东的家和他一切所有的。

运回约柜

13 大卫跟千夫长、百夫长等所有的首领商议, 然后对以色列全体会众说:“如果你们赞成,而且这是我们上帝耶和华的旨意,我们就派人到以色列各地把其他同胞,包括住在城邑及草场的祭司和利未人召集来。 我们要将我们上帝的约柜运到这里来,因为在扫罗执政期间,我们忽视了它。” 会众都表示赞同,认为这样做很好。

于是,大卫召集了从埃及的西曷河一直到哈马口的全体以色列人,要将上帝的约柜从基列·耶琳运来。 大卫率领以色列众人到巴拉,即犹大的基列·耶琳,要将上帝的约柜运回来。这约柜以坐在基路伯天使上面的耶和华的名字命名。 他们把上帝的约柜从亚比拿达家抬出来,放在一辆新车上,由乌撒和亚希约赶车。 大卫和以色列众人就在上帝面前用琴、瑟、鼓、钹和号奏乐,尽情歌舞。 他们来到基顿麦场的时候,拉车的牛失蹄,乌撒就伸手去扶约柜。 10 因他伸手碰了约柜,上帝便向他发怒,击杀了他,他就死在上帝面前。 11 大卫因耶和华击杀乌撒而烦恼,就称那地方为毗列斯·乌撒[a],沿用至今。 12 那天,大卫惧怕上帝,他说:“我怎能将上帝的约柜运到我这里?” 13 因此,大卫没有将约柜运到大卫城,而是把它运到迦特人俄别·以东家。 14 上帝的约柜在俄别·以东家存放了三个月。耶和华使俄别·以东家及其拥有的一切都蒙福。

Bringing Back the Ark(A)

13 David conferred with each of his officers, the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds. He then said to the whole assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you and if it is the will of the Lord our God, let us send word far and wide to the rest of our people throughout the territories of Israel, and also to the priests and Levites who are with them in their towns and pasturelands, to come and join us. Let us bring the ark of our God back to us,(B) for we did not inquire(C) of[a] it[b] during the reign of Saul.” The whole assembly agreed to do this, because it seemed right to all the people.

So David assembled all Israel,(D) from the Shihor River(E) in Egypt to Lebo Hamath,(F) to bring the ark of God from Kiriath Jearim.(G) David and all Israel went to Baalah(H) of Judah (Kiriath Jearim) to bring up from there the ark of God the Lord, who is enthroned between the cherubim(I)—the ark that is called by the Name.

They moved the ark of God from Abinadab’s(J) house on a new cart, with Uzzah and Ahio guiding it. David and all the Israelites were celebrating with all their might before God, with songs and with harps, lyres, timbrels, cymbals and trumpets.(K)

When they came to the threshing floor of Kidon, Uzzah reached out his hand to steady the ark, because the oxen stumbled. 10 The Lord’s anger(L) burned against Uzzah, and he struck him down(M) because he had put his hand on the ark. So he died there before God.

11 Then David was angry because the Lord’s wrath had broken out against Uzzah, and to this day that place is called Perez Uzzah.[c](N)

12 David was afraid of God that day and asked, “How can I ever bring the ark of God to me?” 13 He did not take the ark to be with him in the City of David. Instead, he took it to the house of Obed-Edom(O) the Gittite. 14 The ark of God remained with the family of Obed-Edom in his house for three months, and the Lord blessed his household(P) and everything he had.

13 And David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, and with every leader.

And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, If it seem good unto you, and that it be of the Lord our God, let us send abroad unto our brethren every where, that are left in all the land of Israel, and with them also to the priests and Levites which are in their cities and suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto us:

And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we enquired not at it in the days of Saul.

And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.

So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjathjearim.

And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kirjathjearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the Lord, that dwelleth between the cherubims, whose name is called on it.

And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave the cart.

And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.

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 home to me?

13 So David brought not the ark 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.
