Ang Kaban ay Dinala sa Bahay ni Obed-edom(A)

13 Sumangguni si David sa mga pinunong-kawal ng mga libu-libo, at mga daan-daan, at sa bawat pinuno.

Sinabi ni David sa buong kapulungan ng Israel, “Kung inaakala ninyong mabuti at kung kalooban ng Panginoon nating Diyos, ay ipatawag natin ang ating mga kapatid na nananatili sa buong lupain ng Israel, kabilang ang mga pari at mga Levita sa kanilang mga bayan na may mga pastulan, upang sila'y sama-samang pumarito sa atin.

Pagkatapos ay muli nating dalhin ang kaban ng ating Diyos sa atin, sapagkat ito'y kinaligtaan natin sa mga araw ni Saul.”

At ang buong kapulungan ay sumang-ayon na kanilang gawin ang gayon, sapagkat iyon ay matuwid sa paningin ng buong bayan.

Kaya't(B) tinipon ni David ang buong Israel mula sa Sihor ng Ehipto hanggang sa pasukan sa Hamat, upang dalhin ang kaban ng Diyos mula sa Kiryat-jearim.

At(C) si David at ang buong Israel ay umahon sa Baala, samakatuwid ay sa Kiryat-jearim na sakop ng Juda, upang dalhin mula roon ang kaban ng Diyos, tinatawag ayon sa pangalan ng Panginoon na nakaupo sa ibabaw ng kerubin.

Kanilang dinala ang kaban ng Diyos na nakasakay sa isang bagong kariton mula sa bahay ni Abinadab. Sina Uzah at Ahio ang nagpapatakbo ng kariton.

At si David at ang buong Israel ay nagkakasayahan sa harapan ng Diyos nang buong lakas nila, na may mga awit, mga alpa, mga lira, mga tamburin, mga pompiyang, at mga trumpeta.

Nang sila'y dumating sa giikan ng Kidon, iniunat ni Uzah ang kanyang kamay upang hawakan ang kaban, sapagkat natisod ang mga baka.

10 At ang galit ng Panginoon ay nagningas laban kay Uzah, at siya'y kanyang sinaktan sapagkat siya'y humawak sa kaban, at doo'y namatay siya sa harapan ng Diyos.

11 Kaya't sumama ang loob ni David sapagkat nagalit ang Panginoon kay Uzah, at kanyang tinawag ang dakong iyon na Perez-uza[a] hanggang sa araw na ito.

12 At si David ay natakot sa Diyos nang araw na iyon, na nagsasabi, “Paano ko maiuuwi ang kaban ng Diyos?”

13 Kaya't hindi inilipat ni David ang kaban sa lunsod ni David, kundi ito'y dinala sa bahay ni Obed-edom na Geteo.

14 Ang(D) kaban ng Diyos ay nanatili sa sambahayan ni Obed-edom sa kanyang bahay nang tatlong buwan. At pinagpala ng Panginoon ang sambahayan ni Obed-edom, at ang lahat niyang ari-arian.

The Covenant Box Is Moved from Kiriath Jearim(A)

13 King David consulted with all the officers in command of units of a thousand men and units of a hundred men. Then he announced to all the people of Israel, “If you give your approval and if it is the will of the Lord our God, let us send messengers to the rest of our people and to the priests and Levites in their towns, and tell them to assemble here with us. Then we will go and get God's Covenant Box, which was ignored while Saul was king.” The people were pleased with the suggestion and agreed to it.

(B)So David assembled the people of Israel from all over the country, from the Egyptian border in the south to Hamath Pass in the north, in order to bring the Covenant Box from Kiriath Jearim to Jerusalem. (C)David and the people went to the city of Baalah, that is, to Kiriath Jearim, in the territory of Judah, to get the Covenant Box of God, which bears the name of the Lord enthroned above the winged creatures. At Abinadab's house they brought out the Covenant Box and put it on a new cart. Uzzah and Ahio guided the cart, while David and all the people danced with all their might to honor God. They sang and played musical instruments—harps, drums, cymbals, and trumpets.

As they came to the threshing place of Chidon, the oxen stumbled, and Uzzah reached out and took hold of the Covenant Box. 10 At once the Lord became angry with Uzzah and killed him for touching the Box. He died there in God's presence, 11 and so that place has been called Perez Uzzah[a] ever since. David was furious because the Lord had punished Uzzah in anger.

12 (D)Then David was afraid of God and said, “How can I take the Covenant Box with me now?” 13 So David did not take it with him to Jerusalem. Instead, he left it at the house of a man named Obed Edom, a native of the city of Gath. 14 (E)It stayed there three months, and the Lord blessed Obed Edom's family and everything that belonged to him.

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.
