13 And David consulted with the captains of thousands and of hundreds, even with every leader. And David said unto all the assembly of Israel, If it seem good unto you, and if it be of Jehovah our God, let us send abroad every where unto our brethren that are left in all the [a]land of Israel, [b]with whom the priests and Levites are in their cities that have [c]suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto us; and let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we sought not unto it in the days of Saul. And all the assembly said that they would do so; for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people. So David assembled all Israel together, from the Shihor the brook of Egypt even unto the entrance of Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim. And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath-jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God Jehovah that [d]sitteth above the cherubim, [e]that is called by the Name. And they carried the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart. And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, even with songs, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.

And when they came unto the threshing-floor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen [f]stumbled. 10 And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put forth his hand to the ark; and there he died before God. 11 And David was displeased, because Jehovah had broken forth upon Uzza: and he called that place [g]Perez-uzza, unto 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 removed not the ark unto him into 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 Jehovah blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that he had.

Пренасяне на ковчега на завета към Йерусалим

13 (A)Тогава Давид се посъветва с хилядниците, стотниците и всички водачи и се обърна към целия Израилев народ с думите: „Ако вие сте съгласни и ако това е волята на Господа, нашия Бог, нека изпратим пратеници до нашите братя навред по цялата израилска земя, а също и до свещениците и левитите в техните градове и села, за да дойдат при нас; и нека пренесем при нас ковчега на нашия Бог, защото по времето на Саул ние не се грижихме за него.“ И цялото множество се съгласи да се извърши това, защото в очите на целия народ това изглеждаше справедливо.

(B)Тогава Давид събра всички израилтяни от Сихор в Египет чак до прохода Емат, за да пренесат Божия ковчег от Кириат-Ярим. (C)И Давид се отправи с целия Израил към Кириат-Ярим в Юдея, за да пренесат оттам Божия ковчег, върху който се призовава името на Господа, а престолът Му е над херувимите. Те изнесоха Божия ковчег от дома на Аминадав на нова колесница, а Оза и Ахио караха колесницата. По пътя Давид и всички израилтяни се отдадоха на танци и песни в чест на Господа, съпровождани от арфи, псалтири, тимпани, цимбали и тръби.

А когато стигнаха до Хидоновия харман, Оза протегна ръка, за да придържа ковчега, понеже воловете го разтърсиха. 10 Но Господ се разгневи на Оза и го порази затова, че протегна ръка към ковчега; и той умря там пред Бога. 11 Давид се наскърби, че Господ порази Оза, и нарече това място Пролом на Оза, както се нарича и до днес.

12 И в онзи ден Давид се уплаши от Бога и си каза: „Нима ще внеса при себе си Божия ковчег?“ 13 Затова Давид не остави ковчега при себе си в Давидовия град, а го премести в къщата на гетеца Овид-Едом. 14 (D)Божият ковчег престоя в Овидедомовия дом три месеца и Господ благослови дома на Аведар и всичко, което той имаше.

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.
