1 Chronicles 13
BRG Bible
13 And David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, and with every leader.
2 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:
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 Kirjath-jearim.
6 And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kirjath-jearim, 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.
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 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 Perez-uzza 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 Obed-edom the Gittite.
14 And the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house three months. And the Lord blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that he had.

New King James Version
The Ark Brought from Kirjath Jearim(A)
13 Then David consulted with the (B)captains of thousands and hundreds, and with every leader. 2 And David said to all the assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if it is of the Lord our God, let us send out to our brethren everywhere who are (C)left in all the land of Israel, and with them to the priests and Levites who are in their cities and their common-lands, that they may gather together to us; 3 and let us bring the ark of our God back to us, (D)for we have not inquired at it since the days of Saul.” 4 Then all the assembly said that they would do so, for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
5 So (E)David gathered all Israel together, from (F)Shihor in Egypt to as far as the entrance of Hamath, to bring the ark of God (G)from Kirjath Jearim. 6 And David and all Israel went up to (H)Baalah,[a] to Kirjath Jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God the Lord, (I)who dwells between the cherubim, where His name is proclaimed. 7 So they [b]carried the ark of God (J)on a new cart (K)from the house of Abinadab, and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart. 8 Then (L)David and all Israel played music before God with all their might, with [c]singing, on harps, on stringed instruments, on tambourines, on cymbals, and with trumpets.
9 And when they came to [d]Chidon’s threshing floor, Uzza put out his hand to hold the ark, for the oxen [e]stumbled. 10 Then the anger of the Lord was aroused against Uzza, and He struck him (M)because he put his hand to the ark; and he (N)died there before God. 11 And David became angry because of the Lord’s outbreak against Uzza; therefore that place is called [f]Perez Uzza to this day. 12 David was afraid of God that day, saying, “How can I bring the ark of God to me?”
13 So David would not move the ark with him into the City of David, but took it aside into the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite. 14 (O)The ark of God remained with the family of Obed-Edom in his house three months. And the Lord blessed (P)the house of Obed-Edom and all that he had.

Guds ark flyttas från Kirjat-Jearim
13 (A) David rådgjorde med överbefälen och underbefälen och med alla furstarna. 2 Sedan sade David till hela Israels församling: ”Om ni samtycker och om det är från Herren vår Gud, låt oss då sända bud åt alla håll till våra övriga bröder över hela Israels land och dessutom till prästerna och leviterna i deras städer med betesmarker, att de ska samlas hos oss. 3 Låt oss flytta vår Guds ark till oss, för under Sauls tid frågade vi inte efter den.” 4 Hela församlingen svarade att man skulle göra så, för alla tyckte att förslaget var gott.
5 (B) David samlade då hela Israel, från Shihor i Egypten ända dit där vägen går till Hamat, för att hämta Guds ark från Kirjat-Jearim.[a] 6 (C) David drog med hela Israel upp till Baala, till Kirjat-Jearim som tillhör Juda, för att därifrån föra upp Herren Guds ark, hans som tronar på keruberna[b] och efter vilken den hade sitt namn. 7 (D) De satte Guds ark på en ny vagn och förde bort den från Abinadabs hus. Det var Ussa och Ajo som körde vagnen. 8 David och hela Israel dansade inför Guds ansikte av all kraft till sånger och harpor, lyror, tamburiner, cymbaler och trumpeter.
9 (E) Men när de kom till Kidons tröskplats räckte Ussa ut sin hand för att ta tag i arken, eftersom oxarna snavade. 10 (F) Då upptändes Herrens vrede mot Ussa, och han slog honom för att han räckt ut sin hand mot arken, så att han föll ner död där inför Gud. 11 (G) Men David blev upprörd därför att Herren hade brutit ner[c] Ussa. Han kallade den platsen Peres-Ussa, som den heter än i dag.
12 David greps den dagen av sådan fruktan för Gud att han sade: ”Hur skulle jag våga föra Guds ark till mig?” 13 Därför flyttade inte David in arken till sig i Davids stad, utan tog den avsides till gatiten[d] Obed-Edoms[e] hus. 14 Och Guds ark blev kvar i Obed-Edoms hus och hans familj i tre månader. Och Herren välsignade Obed-Edoms hus och allt han ägde.
