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.

Intento de llevar el arca a Jerusalén

6 David volvió a reunir a todos los escogidos de Israel, treinta mil en total. 2 Entonces David se levantó, y con todo el pueblo que estaba con él, partió de Baala de Judá para subir desde allí el arca de Dios, sobre la cual es invocado el nombre[a] del SEÑOR de los Ejércitos, que tiene su trono entre los querubines. 3 Luego colocaron el arca de Dios sobre una carreta nueva y se la llevaron de la casa de Abinadab, que estaba en la colina. Uza y Ajío, hijos de Abinadab, guiaban la carreta nueva 4 con el arca de Dios, y se la llevaron de la casa de Abinadab, que estaba en la colina. Ajío iba delante del arca. 5 David y toda la casa de Israel se regocijaban delante del SEÑOR, con toda clase de instrumentos de madera de ciprés: arpas, liras, panderetas, sistros y címbalos.

6 Cuando llegaron a la era de Nacón, Uza extendió su mano[b] al arca de Dios y la sujetó, porque los bueyes tropezaron. 7 Entonces el furor del SEÑOR se encendió contra Uza, y Dios lo hirió allí por el atrevimiento[c]. Y murió allí, junto al arca de Dios.

8 David se disgustó porque el SEÑOR había irrumpido contra Uza, y llamó aquel lugar Perez-uza[d], hasta el día de hoy. 9 Aquel día David tuvo miedo del SEÑOR y dijo: “¿Cómo ha de venir a mí el arca del SEÑOR?”.

10 David ya no quiso llevar consigo el arca del SEÑOR, a la Ciudad de David. Más bien, David la desvió a la casa de Obed-edom el geteo. 11 El arca del SEÑOR se quedó en casa de Obed-edom el geteo durante tres meses. Y el SEÑOR bendijo a Obed-edom y a toda su familia.

David traslada el arca a Jerusalén

12 Se le informó al rey David diciendo: “El SEÑOR ha bendecido la familia de Obed-edom y todo lo que tiene, a causa del arca de Dios”. Entonces David fue e hizo subir con regocijo el arca de Dios de la casa de Obed-edom a la Ciudad de David. 13 Y sucedió que cuando los que llevaban el arca de Dios habían dado seis pasos, David sacrificó un toro y un carnero engordado. 14 David danzaba con toda su fuerza delante del SEÑOR, y David estaba vestido con un efod de lino. 15 David y toda la casa de Israel subían el arca del SEÑOR, con gritos de júbilo y sonido de corneta.

16 Sucedió que cuando el arca del SEÑOR llegó a la Ciudad de David, Mical hija de Saúl miró por la ventana; y al ver al rey David saltando y danzando delante del SEÑOR, lo menospreció en su corazón.

17 Así trajeron el arca del SEÑOR y la colocaron en su lugar, en medio de la tienda que David había erigido para ella. Luego David ofreció holocaustos y sacrificios de paz delante del SEÑOR.

18 Cuando David acabó de ofrecer los holocaustos y los sacrificios de paz, bendijo al pueblo en el nombre del SEÑOR de los Ejércitos. 19 Entonces repartió a todo el pueblo, a toda la multitud de Israel, tanto a hombres como a mujeres, a cada uno una torta de pan, una de dátiles[e] y una de pasas. Y todo el pueblo se fue, cada uno a su casa.

Mical menosprecia a David

20 Luego volvió David para bendecir a su familia. Pero Mical hija de Saúl, saliendo para encontrar a David, le dijo:

—¡Cómo se ha cubierto de honra hoy el rey de Israel, descubriéndose hoy ante los ojos de las criadas de sus servidores, como se descubriría sin decoro un cualquiera!

21 David respondió a Mical:

—Fue delante del SEÑOR, que me eligió en lugar de tu padre y de toda su casa, para constituirme como el soberano del pueblo del SEÑOR, de Israel. Por tanto, me regocijaré delante del SEÑOR. 22 Y aún me haré más vil que esta vez y me rebajaré ante mis[f] propios ojos. Pero con las criadas que has mencionado, ¡junto con ellas seré honrado!

23 Y Mical hija de Saúl no tuvo hijos hasta el día de su muerte.

2 Samuel 6
New King James Version

The Ark Brought to Jerusalem(A)

6 Again David gathered all the choice men of Israel, thirty thousand. 2 And (B)David arose and went with all the people who were with him from [a]Baale Judah to bring up from there the ark of God, whose name is called [b]by the Name, the Lord of Hosts, (C)who dwells between the cherubim. 3 So they set the ark of God on a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was on (D)the hill; and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new [c]cart. 4 And they brought it out of (E)the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill, accompanying the ark of God; and Ahio went before the ark. 5 Then David and all the house of Israel (F)played music before the Lord on all kinds of instruments of fir wood, on harps, on stringed instruments, on tambourines, on sistrums, and on cymbals.

6 And when they came to (G)Nachon’s threshing floor, Uzzah put out his (H)hand to the ark of God and [d]took hold of it, for the oxen stumbled. 7 Then the anger of the Lord was aroused against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his [e]error; and he died there by the ark of God. 8 And David became angry because of the Lord’s outbreak against Uzzah; and he called the name of the place [f]Perez Uzzah to this day.

9 (I)David was afraid of the Lord that day; and he said, “How can the ark of the Lord come to me?” 10 So David would not move the ark of the Lord with him into the (J)City of David; but David took it aside into the house of Obed-Edom the (K)Gittite. 11 (L)The ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite three months. And the Lord (M)blessed Obed-Edom and all his household.

12 Now it was told King David, saying, “The Lord has blessed the house of Obed-Edom and all that belongs to him, because of the ark of God.” (N)So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the City of David with gladness. 13 And so it was, when (O)those bearing the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, that he sacrificed (P)oxen and fatted sheep. 14 Then David (Q)danced[g] before the Lord with all his might; and David was wearing (R)a linen ephod. 15 (S)So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting and with the sound of the trumpet.

16 Now as the ark of the Lord came into the City of David, (T)Michal, Saul’s daughter, looked through a window and saw King David leaping and whirling before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart. 17 So (U)they brought the ark of the Lord, and set it in (V)its place in the midst of the tabernacle that David had erected for it. Then David (W)offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord. 18 And when David had finished offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, (X)he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts. 19 (Y)Then he distributed among all the people, among the whole multitude of Israel, both the women and the men, to everyone a loaf of bread, a piece of meat, and a cake of raisins. So all the people departed, everyone to his house.

20 (Z)Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, “How glorious was the king of Israel today, (AA)uncovering himself today in the eyes of the maids of his servants, as one of the (AB)base fellows [h]shamelessly uncovers himself!”

21 So David said to Michal, “It was before the Lord, (AC)who chose me instead of your father and all his house, to appoint me ruler over the (AD)people of the Lord, over Israel. Therefore I will play music before the Lord. 22 And I will be even more undignified than this, and will be humble in my own sight. But as for the maidservants of whom you have spoken, by them I will be held in honor.”

23 Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no children (AE)to the day of her death.
