David lleva el arca a Jerusalén(A)(B)

6 Una vez más, David reunió los treinta mil soldados escogidos de Israel. 2 Con estos soldados y todo su ejército, partió hacia Balá de Judá para trasladar de allí el arca de Dios, sobre la cual se invoca su Nombre, el nombre del Señor de los Ejércitos que reina entre los querubines. 3 Colocaron el arca de Dios en una carreta nueva y la sacaron de la casa de Abinadab, que estaba situada en una colina. Uza y Ajío, hijos de Abinadab, guiaban la carreta nueva 4 que llevaba el arca de Dios.[a] Ajío iba delante del arca, 5 mientras David y todo el pueblo de Israel danzaban ante el Señor con gran entusiasmo y cantaban al son de arpas,[b] liras, panderos, sistros y címbalos.

6 Al llegar al campo de Nacón, los bueyes tropezaron, pero Uza extendió las manos y sostuvo el arca de Dios. 7 Entonces la ira del Señor se encendió contra Uza por su atrevimiento y lo hirió de muerte, de modo que Uza murió junto al arca de Dios.

8 David se enojó porque el Señor había matado a Uza, así que llamó a aquel lugar Peres Uza,[c] nombre que conserva hasta el día de hoy.

9 Aquel día David se sintió temeroso del Señor y exclamó: «¿Cómo voy a traerme el arca del Señor?». 10 Y como ya no quería llevarse el arca del Señor a la Ciudad de David, ordenó que la trasladaran a la casa de Obed Edom, oriundo de Gat. 11 Fue así como el arca del Señor permaneció tres meses en la casa de Obed Edom de Gat, y el Señor bendijo a Obed Edom y a toda su familia.

12 En cuanto dijeron al rey David que por causa del arca el Señor había bendecido a la familia de Obed Edom y toda su hacienda, David fue a la casa de Obed Edom y, en medio de gran algarabía, trasladó el arca de Dios a la Ciudad de David. 13 Apenas habían avanzado seis pasos los que llevaban el arca del Señor cuando David sacrificó un toro y un ternero engordado. 14 Vestido con un efod de tela de lino, se puso a bailar ante el Señor con gran entusiasmo. 15 Así que entre vítores y al son de trompetas, David y todo el pueblo de Israel llevaban el arca del Señor.

16 Sucedió que al entrar el arca del Señor a la Ciudad de David, la hija de Saúl, Mical, se asomó a la ventana y, cuando vio que el rey David estaba saltando y bailando delante del Señor, sintió por él un profundo desprecio.

17 El arca del Señor fue llevada a la tienda que David había preparado. Allí la instalaron, y luego David ofreció holocaustos y sacrificios de comunión en presencia del Señor. 18 Después de ofrecer los holocaustos y los sacrificios de comunión, David bendijo al pueblo en el nombre del Señor de los Ejércitos. 19 A cada uno de los israelitas que estaban allí congregados, que eran toda una multitud de hombres y mujeres, repartió pan, una torta de dátiles y una torta de pasas. Después de eso, todos regresaron a sus casas.

20 Cuando David volvió para bendecir a su familia, Mical, la hija de Saúl, salió al encuentro y le reprochó:

—¡Qué distinguido se ha visto hoy el rey de Israel desnudándose como un cualquiera en presencia de las esclavas de sus oficiales!

21 David respondió:

—Lo hice en presencia del Señor, quien en vez de escoger a tu padre o a cualquier otro de su familia, me escogió a mí y me hizo gobernante de Israel, que es el pueblo del Señor. De modo que seguiré bailando en presencia del Señor, 22 y me rebajaré más todavía, hasta humillarme completamente. Sin embargo, esas mismas esclavas de quienes hablas me rendirán honores.

23 Y Mical hija de Saúl murió sin haber tenido hijos.

The Ark Is Brought to Jerusalem

6 (A)Then David again gathered all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand. 2 And David arose and went with all the people who were with him [a]from [b](B)Baale-judah, to bring up from there the ark of God which is called by the (C)Name, the very name of Yahweh of hosts who (D)is [c]enthroned above the cherubim. 3 And they [d]drove the ark of God on (E)a new cart that they might bring it from the house of Abinadab which was on the hill; and [e]Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, were leading the new cart. 4 So (F)they brought it with the ark of God from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill; and Ahio was walking ahead of the ark. 5 Now David and all the house of Israel (G)were celebrating before Yahweh (H)with all kinds of instruments made of [f]fir wood, and with lyres, harps, tambourines, castanets, and cymbals.

6 Then they came to the (I)threshing floor of Nacon. And [g]Uzzah (J)reached out toward the ark of God and took hold of it, because the oxen nearly upset it. 7 And the anger of Yahweh burned against Uzzah, and (K)God struck him down there for [h]his irreverence; and he died there by the ark of God. 8 And David became angry because [i]of Yahweh’s breaking out against Uzzah; and that place is called [j]Perez-uzzah to this day. 9 So (L)David was afraid of Yahweh that day; and he said, “How can the ark of Yahweh come to me?” 10 And David was unwilling to move the ark of Yahweh into the city of David with him; but David took it aside to the house of (M)Obed-edom the Gittite. 11 Thus the ark of Yahweh remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months, and Yahweh (N)blessed Obed-edom and all his household.

12 Then it was told to King David, saying, “Yahweh has blessed the house of Obed-edom and all that belongs to him, on account of the ark of God.” So (O)David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into (P)the city of David with gladness. 13 And so it happened, that when those (Q)who were carrying the ark of Yahweh had gone six paces, he sacrificed an (R)ox and a fatling. 14 And (S)David was dancing before Yahweh with all his strength, and David was (T)girded with a linen ephod. 15 So David and all the house of Israel were bringing up the ark of Yahweh with shouting and the sound of the trumpet.

David Dances Before Yahweh

16 Then it happened as the ark of Yahweh came into the city of David, that (U)Michal the daughter of Saul looked out of the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before Yahweh; and she despised him in her heart.

17 And they brought in the ark of Yahweh and placed it (V)in its place inside the tent which David had pitched for it; and (W)David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before Yahweh. 18 Then David completed offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings. And (X)he blessed the people in the name of Yahweh of hosts. 19 And he apportioned to all the people, to all the multitude of Israel, both to men and women, a cake of bread and one of dates and one of raisins to each one. Then all the people went each to his house.

20 But David returned to bless his household, and Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David and said, “How the king of Israel has glorified himself today! (Y)He uncovered himself today in the eyes of his servants’ maids as one of the (Z)worthless ones shamelessly uncovers himself!” 21 So David said to Michal, “(AA)It was before Yahweh, who chose me above your father and above all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of Yahweh, over Israel; therefore I will celebrate before Yahweh. 22 And I will be esteemed even more lightly than this and will be humble in my own eyes, but with the maids of whom you have spoken, with them I will be glorified.” 23 And Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.

2 Samuel 6
New International Version

The Ark Brought to Jerusalem(A)(B)

6 David again brought together all the able young men of Israel—thirty thousand. 2 He and all his men went to Baalah[a](C) in Judah to bring up from there the ark(D) of God, which is called by the Name,[b](E) the name of the Lord Almighty, who is enthroned(F) between the cherubim(G) on the ark. 3 They set the ark of God on a new cart(H) and brought it from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill.(I) Uzzah and Ahio, sons of Abinadab, were guiding the new cart 4 with the ark of God on it,[c] and Ahio was walking in front of it. 5 David and all Israel were celebrating(J) with all their might before the Lord, with castanets,[d] harps, lyres, timbrels, sistrums and cymbals.(K)

6 When they came to the threshing floor of Nakon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of(L) the ark of God, because the oxen stumbled. 7 The Lord’s anger burned against Uzzah because of his irreverent act;(M) therefore God struck him down,(N) and he died there beside the ark of God.

8 Then David was angry because the Lord’s wrath(O) had broken out against Uzzah, and to this day that place is called Perez Uzzah.[e](P)

9 David was afraid of the Lord that day and said, “How(Q) can the ark of the Lord ever come to me?” 10 He was not willing to take the ark of the Lord to be with him in the City of David. Instead, he took it to the house of Obed-Edom(R) the Gittite. 11 The ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite for three months, and the Lord blessed him and his entire household.(S)

12 Now King David(T) was told, “The Lord has blessed the household of Obed-Edom and everything he has, because of the ark of God.” So David went to bring up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the City of David with rejoicing. 13 When those who were carrying the ark of the Lord had taken six steps, he sacrificed(U) a bull and a fattened calf. 14 Wearing a linen ephod,(V) David was dancing(W) before the Lord with all his might, 15 while he and all Israel were bringing up the ark of the Lord with shouts(X) and the sound of trumpets.(Y)

16 As the ark of the Lord was entering the City of David,(Z) Michal(AA) daughter of Saul watched from a window. And when she saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, she despised him in her heart.

17 They brought the ark of the Lord and set it in its place inside the tent that David had pitched for it,(AB) and David sacrificed burnt offerings(AC) and fellowship offerings before the Lord. 18 After he had finished sacrificing(AD) the burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, he blessed(AE) the people in the name of the Lord Almighty. 19 Then he gave a loaf of bread, a cake of dates and a cake of raisins(AF) to each person in the whole crowd of Israelites, both men and women.(AG) And all the people went to their homes.

20 When David returned home to bless his household, Michal daughter of Saul came out to meet him and said, “How the king of Israel has distinguished himself today, going around half-naked(AH) in full view of the slave girls of his servants as any vulgar fellow would!”

21 David said to Michal, “It was before the Lord, who chose me rather than your father or anyone from his house when he appointed(AI) me ruler(AJ) over the Lord’s people Israel—I will celebrate before the Lord. 22 I will become even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes. But by these slave girls you spoke of, I will be held in honor.”

23 And Michal daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her death.
