1 Chronicles 13
King James Version
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 Kirjathjearim.
6 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.
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 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.

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 if it is the will of the Lord our God, let us send abroad to our brethren who remain in all the land of Israel, and with them to the priests and Levites in the cities that have pasture lands, that they may come together to us. 3 Then let us bring again the ark of our God to us; for we neglected it 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.
5 So David assembled all Israel from the Shihor of Egypt to the entrance of Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kir′iath-je′arim. 6 And David and all Israel went up to Ba′alah, that is, to Kir′iath-je′arim which belongs to Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the name of the Lord who sits enthroned above the cherubim. 7 And they carried the ark of God upon a new cart, from the house of Abin′adab, and Uzzah and Ahi′o[a] were driving the cart. 8 And David and all Israel were making merry before God with all their might, with song and lyres and harps and tambourines and cymbals and trumpets.
9 And when they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzzah put out his hand to hold the ark, for the oxen stumbled. 10 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah; and he smote him because he put forth his hand to the ark; and he died there before God. 11 And David was angry because the Lord had broken forth upon Uzzah; and that place is called Pe′rez-uz′za[b] 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 of O′bed-e′dom the Gittite. 14 And the ark of God remained with the household of O′bed-e′dom in his house three months; and the Lord blessed the household of O′bed-e′dom and all that he had.

Guds ark flyttas från Kirjat-Jearim
13 David rådgjorde med överbefälen och underbefälen och med alla furstarna. 2 Sedan sade David till hela Israels församling: "Om ni finner för gott och om detta 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 utmarker, att de skall samlas hos oss. 3 Låt oss flytta vår Guds ark till oss, för i Sauls tid frågade vi inte efter den." 4 Hela församlingen svarade att man skulle göra så, ty alla tyckte att förslaget var gott.
5 David samlade då hela Israel, från Sihor[a] i Egypten ända dit där vägen går till Hamat, för att hämta Guds ark från Kirjat-Jearim. 6 David drog med hela Israel upp till Baala, till Kirjat-Jearim, som hör till Juda, för att därifrån föra upp Guds, Herrens, ark, hans som tronar på keruberna och efter vilken den hade sitt namn. 7 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, psaltare, pukor, cymbaler och trumpeter.
9 Men när de kom till Kidons tröskplats, räckte Ussa ut sin hand för att ta tag i arken, ty oxarna snavade. 10 Då upptändes Herrens vrede mot Ussa, och han slog honom därför att han hade räckt ut sin hand mot arken, så att han föll ner död där inför Gud. 11 Men David blev upprörd därför att Herren hade brutit ner Ussa[b] och 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 Obed-Edoms hus. 14 Och Guds ark blev kvar i Obed-Edoms hus, hos hans familj, i tre månader. Och Herren välsignade Obed-Edoms hus och allt han ägde.
