運回約櫃
13 大衛跟千夫長、百夫長等所有的首領商議, 2 然後對以色列全體會眾說:「如果你們贊成,而且這是我們上帝耶和華的旨意,我們就派人到以色列各地把其他同胞,包括住在城邑及草場的祭司和利未人召集來。 3 我們要將我們上帝的約櫃運到這裡來,因為在掃羅執政期間,我們忽視了它。」 4 會眾都表示贊同,認為這樣做很好。
5 於是,大衛召集了從埃及的西曷河一直到哈馬口的全體以色列人,要將上帝的約櫃從基列·耶琳運來。 6 大衛率領以色列眾人到巴拉,即猶大的基列·耶琳,要將上帝的約櫃運回來。這約櫃以坐在基路伯天使上面的耶和華的名字命名。 7 他們把上帝的約櫃從亞比拿達家抬出來,放在一輛新車上,由烏撒和亞希約趕車。 8 大衛和以色列眾人就在上帝面前用琴、瑟、鼓、鈸和號奏樂,盡情歌舞。 9 他們來到基頓麥場的時候,拉車的牛失蹄,烏撒就伸手去扶約櫃。 10 因他伸手碰了約櫃,上帝便向他發怒,擊殺了他,他就死在上帝面前。 11 大衛因耶和華擊殺烏撒而煩惱,就稱那地方為毗列斯·烏撒[a],沿用至今。 12 那天,大衛懼怕上帝,他說:「我怎能將上帝的約櫃運到我這裡?」 13 因此,大衛沒有將約櫃運到大衛城,而是把它運到迦特人俄別·以東家。 14 上帝的約櫃在俄別·以東家存放了三個月。耶和華使俄別·以東家及其擁有的一切都蒙福。

The Ark Brought from Kiriath-Jearim
13 David consulted with the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, with every leader. 2 And David said to all the assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you and from the Lord our God, let us send abroad to our brothers (A)who remain in all the lands of Israel, as well as to the priests and Levites in the cities that have pasturelands, that they may be gathered to us. 3 Then let us bring again the ark of our God to us, (B)for we did not seek it[a] in the days of Saul.” 4 All the assembly agreed to do so, for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
Uzzah and the Ark
5 (C)So David assembled all Israel (D)from the (E)Nile[b] of Egypt to Lebo-hamath, to bring the ark of God (F)from Kiriath-jearim. 6 (G)And David and all Israel went up to (H)Baalah, that is, to Kiriath-jearim that belongs to Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the name of the Lord who (I)sits enthroned above the cherubim. 7 And they carried the ark of God on a new cart, from the house of (J)Abinadab, and Uzzah and Ahio[c] were driving the cart. 8 And David and all Israel were celebrating before God with all their might, with song and (K)lyres and harps and tambourines and cymbals and trumpets.
9 And when they came to the threshing floor of (L)Chidon, Uzzah put out his hand to take hold of the ark, for the oxen stumbled. 10 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah, and he struck him down (M)because he put out his hand to the ark, and (N)he died there before God. 11 And David was angry because the Lord had broken out against Uzzah. And that place is called Perez-uzza[d] to this day. 12 And David was afraid of God that day, and he said, “How can I bring the ark of God home to me?” 13 So David did not take the ark home into the city of David, but took it aside to the house (O)of Obed-edom the Gittite. 14 And the ark of God remained with the household of Obed-edom in his house three months. (P)And the Lord blessed the household of Obed-edom and all that he had.
