Chapter 6
The Ark Brought to Jerusalem. 1 David again gathered all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand in all. 2 Then he set forth with his entire force to Baalah of Judah to bring up from there the Ark of God, which bears the name of the Lord of hosts who is enthroned above the cherubim.
3 They placed the Ark of God on a new cart and brought it forth from the house of Abinadab, which stood on the hill. Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, were guiding the new cart. 4 Uzzah walked alongside the Ark of God, with Ahio walking in front. 5 David and the entire house of Israel danced joyfully before the Lord with all their might, singing to the accompaniment of lyres, harps, tambourines, castanets, and cymbals.
6 When they arrived at the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached out his hand to the Ark of God and steadied it because the oxen were stumbling. 7 This aroused the Lord’s anger against Uzzah because of his irreverent act, and he died there beside the Ark of God. 8 David became greatly upset because the Lord had vented his anger against Uzzah, and to this very day that place is called Perez-uzzah.
9 David greatly feared the Lord that day, and he said: “How can the Ark of the Lord be placed in my care?” 10 Therefore, he decided not to take the Ark of the Lord to be in his care in the City of David. Instead he took it to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite. 11 The Ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite for three months, and the Lord blessed Obed-edom and his entire household.
12 When King David was informed that the Lord had blessed the family of Obed-edom and everything that belonged to him because of the Ark of God, David went and brought up the Ark of God from the house of Obed-edom to the City of David amid great rejoicing.
13 When the bearers of the Ark of the Lord had advanced six steps, David sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf. 14 [a]Then, girded with a linen ephod, he danced before the Lord with all his might, 15 as he and all the Israelites brought up the Ark of the Lord with shouts of joy and the blowing of trumpets.
16 As the Ark of the Lord entered the City of David, Michal, the daughter of Saul, watched from a window. When she saw King David leaping and whirling around before the Lord, she despised him in her heart.
17 They brought in the Ark of the Lord and set it in its place inside the tent that David had erected for it. Then David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings in the name of the Lord of hosts. 18 When he had finished making these offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts. 19 Then he distributed food to all of the people, both men and women, giving to each person in the multitude a loaf of bread, a portion of meat, and a raisin cake. Then all the people returned to their homes.
20 When David returned to bless his household, Michal, the daughter of Saul, came out to meet him. She said: “What an exhibition the king of Israel has made of himself today, exposing himself in the view of the slave girls of his followers like any vulgarian who chooses to shamelessly expose himself before them!”[b]
21 David replied to Michal: “I was dancing in gratitude for the Lord, not for them. The Lord chose me instead of your father and his entire family and appointed me as leader over Israel, the people of the Lord. I shall continue to dance before the Lord in gratitude, 22 and I will demean myself even more. I will be lowly in your esteem, but I will be held in honor by those slave girls of whom you speak.”
23 Saul’s daughter Michal had no children to the day of her death.

Возвращение сундука соглашения в Иерусалим(A)
6 Давуд снова собрал тридцать тысяч исраильтян, выбранных им. 2 Вместе со всеми своими людьми он отправился из Кириат-Иеарима[a], чтобы перенести оттуда сундук Всевышнего[b], на котором наречено имя Вечного, Повелителя Сил, восседающего на херувимах[c]. 3 Они поставили сундук Всевышнего на новую повозку и вывезли его из дома Авинадава, что на холме. Узза и Ахио, сыновья Авинадава, везли новую повозку 4 с сундуком Всевышнего, и Ахио шёл перед сундуком. 5 Давуд и весь народ Исраила изо всех сил веселились перед Вечным, пели песни и играли на арфах, лирах, бубнах, трещотках и тарелках.
6 Когда они дошли до гумна Нахона, Узза протянул руку, чтобы поддержать сундук Всевышнего, потому что волы споткнулись. 7 И гнев Вечного воспылал против Уззы. Всевышний поразил его там за дерзновение, и Узза умер там же у сундука Всевышнего.
8 Давуд опечалился из-за того, что гнев Всевышнего прорвался на Уззу, и до сегодняшнего дня то место называется Фарец-Узза («прорыв на Уззу»).
9 В тот день Давуд устрашился Вечного и сказал:
– Как же можно принести ко мне сундук Вечного?
10 Он не хотел брать сундук Вечного к себе, в Город Давуда. Вместо этого он отвёз его в дом гатянина Овид-Эдома. 11 Сундук Вечного оставался в доме гатянина Овид-Эдома три месяца, и Вечный благословил его и всех его домашних.
12 Царю же Давуду сказали:
– Вечный благословил домашних Овид-Эдома и всё, что у него, из-за сундука Всевышнего.
Тогда Давуд пошёл и с радостью перенёс сундук Всевышнего из дома Овид-Эдома в Город Давуда. 13 Через каждые шесть шагов, которые делали несущие сундук Вечного, он приносил в жертву быка и упитанного телёнка. 14 Одетый в льняной ефод[d] Давуд изо всех сил плясал перед Вечным. 15 Так он и весь народ Исраила перенесли сундук Вечного с радостными криками под звуки рогов.
16 Когда сундук Вечного вносили в Город Давуда, Михаль, дочь Шаула, смотрела из окна. Увидев царя Давуда, который прыгал и плясал перед Вечным, она уничижила его в своём сердце.
17 А сундук Вечного принесли и поставили в шатре, который разбил для него Давуд. Давуд принёс Вечному жертвы всесожжения и жертвы примирения. 18 Закончив приносить жертвы всесожжения и жертвы примирения, он благословил народ во имя Вечного, Повелителя Сил. 19 Затем он раздал всему народу, всему множеству исраильтян – и мужчинам, и женщинам, – по одной лепёшке, по куску жареного мяса и по связке изюма. После этого весь народ разошёлся по своим домам.
20 Когда Давуд вернулся домой, чтобы благословить своих домашних, Михаль, дочь Шаула, вышла встретить его и сказала:
– Как отличился сегодня царь Исраила, обнажившись на глазах у рабынь своих рабов, словно какой-то непристойный человек!
21 Давуд сказал Михаль:
– Это было перед Вечным, Который предпочёл меня твоему отцу или кому-либо из его дома. Он поставил меня правителем над Исраилом, народом Вечного. Я и впредь буду веселиться перед Вечным. 22 Я стану ещё недостойнее и буду ещё ничтожнее в своих собственных глазах. Но те рабыни, о которых ты говорила, будут меня чтить.
23 И у Михаль, дочери Шаула, не было детей до конца жизни.

The Ark Brought to Jerusalem(A)(B)
6 David again brought together all the able young men of Israel—thirty thousand. 2 He and all his men went to Baalah[a](C) in Judah to bring up from there the ark(D) of God, which is called by the Name,[b](E) the name of the Lord Almighty, who is enthroned(F) between the cherubim(G) on the ark. 3 They set the ark of God on a new cart(H) and brought it from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill.(I) Uzzah and Ahio, sons of Abinadab, were guiding the new cart 4 with the ark of God on it,[c] and Ahio was walking in front of it. 5 David and all Israel were celebrating(J) with all their might before the Lord, with castanets,[d] harps, lyres, timbrels, sistrums and cymbals.(K)
6 When they came to the threshing floor of Nakon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of(L) the ark of God, because the oxen stumbled. 7 The Lord’s anger burned against Uzzah because of his irreverent act;(M) therefore God struck him down,(N) and he died there beside the ark of God.
8 Then David was angry because the Lord’s wrath(O) had broken out against Uzzah, and to this day that place is called Perez Uzzah.[e](P)
9 David was afraid of the Lord that day and said, “How(Q) can the ark of the Lord ever come to me?” 10 He was not willing to take the ark of the Lord to be with him in the City of David. Instead, he took it to the house of Obed-Edom(R) the Gittite. 11 The ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite for three months, and the Lord blessed him and his entire household.(S)
12 Now King David(T) was told, “The Lord has blessed the household of Obed-Edom and everything he has, because of the ark of God.” So David went to bring up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the City of David with rejoicing. 13 When those who were carrying the ark of the Lord had taken six steps, he sacrificed(U) a bull and a fattened calf. 14 Wearing a linen ephod,(V) David was dancing(W) before the Lord with all his might, 15 while he and all Israel were bringing up the ark of the Lord with shouts(X) and the sound of trumpets.(Y)
16 As the ark of the Lord was entering the City of David,(Z) Michal(AA) daughter of Saul watched from a window. And when she saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, she despised him in her heart.
17 They brought the ark of the Lord and set it in its place inside the tent that David had pitched for it,(AB) and David sacrificed burnt offerings(AC) and fellowship offerings before the Lord. 18 After he had finished sacrificing(AD) the burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, he blessed(AE) the people in the name of the Lord Almighty. 19 Then he gave a loaf of bread, a cake of dates and a cake of raisins(AF) to each person in the whole crowd of Israelites, both men and women.(AG) And all the people went to their homes.
20 When David returned home to bless his household, Michal daughter of Saul came out to meet him and said, “How the king of Israel has distinguished himself today, going around half-naked(AH) in full view of the slave girls of his servants as any vulgar fellow would!”
21 David said to Michal, “It was before the Lord, who chose me rather than your father or anyone from his house when he appointed(AI) me ruler(AJ) over the Lord’s people Israel—I will celebrate before the Lord. 22 I will become even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes. But by these slave girls you spoke of, I will be held in honor.”
23 And Michal daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her death.
