L'arca trasportata fino a Gerusalemme
6 (A)*Davide riuní di nuovo tutti gli uomini scelti d'*Israele, in numero di trentamila. 2 Poi si alzò, e con tutto il popolo che era con lui partí da Baalè di *Giuda per trasportare di là l'*arca di Dio, sulla quale è invocato il Nome, il nome del Signore degli eserciti, che siede sopra essa tra i *cherubini. 3 Misero l'arca di Dio sopra un carro nuovo e la portarono via dalla casa di Abinadab, che era sul colle; Uzza e Aio, figli di Abinadab, conducevano il carro nuovo 4 con l'arca di Dio[a], e Aio precedeva l'arca. 5 Davide e tutta la casa d'Israele sonavano davanti al Signore ogni sorta di strumenti di legno di cipresso, e cetre, saltèri, timpani, sistri e cembali.
6 Quando giunsero all'aia di Nacon, Uzza stese la mano verso l'arca di Dio per reggerla, perché i buoi la facevano inclinare. 7 L'ira del Signore si accese contro Uzza; Dio lo colpí lí per la sua empietà ed egli morí in quel luogo vicino all'arca di Dio. 8 Davide si rattristò perché il Signore aveva fatto una breccia nel popolo, colpendo Uzza; quel luogo è stato chiamato fino ad oggi Perez-Uzza[b]. 9 Davide, in quel giorno, ebbe paura del Signore, e disse: «Come potrebbe venire da me l'arca del Signore?» 10 Davide non volle prendere l'arca del Signore presso di sé nella *città di Davide, ma la fece portare in casa di Obed-Edom a Gat. 11 L'arca del Signore rimase tre mesi in casa di Obed-Edom a Gat, e il Signore benedisse Obed-Edom e tutta la sua casa.
12 (B)Allora fu detto al re Davide: «Il Signore ha benedetto la casa di Obed-Edom e tutto quel che gli appartiene, a motivo dell'arca di Dio». Allora Davide andò e trasportò l'arca di Dio dalla casa di Obed-Edom su nella città di Davide, con gioia. 13 Quando quelli che portavano l'arca del Signore ebbero fatto sei passi, egli immolò un bue e un vitello grasso. 14 Davide era cinto di un *efod di lino e danzava a tutta forza davanti al Signore. 15 Cosí Davide e tutta la casa d'Israele trasportarono su l'arca del Signore con gioia e a suon di tromba.
16 Mentre l'arca del Signore entrava nella città di Davide, Mical, figlia di *Saul, guardò dalla finestra; e vedendo il re Davide che saltava e danzava davanti al Signore, lo disprezzò in cuor suo.
17 Portarono dunque l'arca del Signore e la collocarono al suo posto, in mezzo alla *tenda che Davide le aveva montato; e Davide offrí olocausti e sacrifici di riconoscenza davanti al Signore. 18 Quando ebbe finito di offrire gli olocausti e i sacrifici di riconoscenza, Davide benedisse il popolo nel nome del Signore degli eserciti 19 e distribuí a tutto il popolo, a tutta la moltitudine d'Israele, uomini e donne, un pane per uno, una porzione di carne e un grappolo di uva passa. Poi tutto il popolo se ne andò, ciascuno a casa sua.
20 Come Davide tornava per benedire la sua famiglia, Mical, figlia di Saul, gli andò incontro e gli disse: «Bell'onore si è fatto oggi il re d'Israele a scoprirsi davanti agli occhi delle serve dei suoi servi, come si scoprirebbe un uomo da nulla!» 21 Davide rispose a Mical: «L'ho fatto davanti al Signore che mi ha scelto invece di tuo padre e di tutta la sua casa per stabilirmi principe d'Israele, del popolo del Signore; sí, davanti al Signore ho fatto festa. 22 Anzi mi abbasserò anche piú di cosí e mi renderò umile ai miei occhi; ma da quelle serve di cui parli, proprio da loro, sarò onorato!» 23 E Mical, figlia di Saul, non ebbe figli fino al giorno della sua morte.

2 Samuel 6
King James Version
2 Samuel 6
King James Version
6 Again, David gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
2 And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him from Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, whose name is called by the name of the Lord of hosts that dwelleth between the cherubims.
3 And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart.
4 And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which was at Gibeah, accompanying the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark.
5 And David and all the house of Israel played before the Lord on all manner of instruments made of fir wood, even on harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals.
6 And when they came to Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it.
7 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.
8 And David was displeased, because the Lord had made a breach upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perezuzzah to this day.
9 And David was afraid of the Lord that day, and said, How shall the ark of the Lord come to me?
10 So David would not remove the ark of the Lord unto him into the city of David: but David carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gittite.
11 And the ark of the Lord continued in the house of Obededom the Gittite three months: and the Lord blessed Obededom, and all his household.
12 And it was told king David, saying, The Lord hath blessed the house of Obededom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obededom into the city of David with gladness.
13 And it was so, that when they that bare the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.
14 And David danced before the Lord with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.
15 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 And as the ark of the Lord came into the city of David, Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart.
17 And they brought in the ark of the Lord, and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord.
18 And as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts.
19 And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. So all the people departed every one to his house.
20 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 to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself!
21 And David said unto Michal, It was before the Lord, which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the Lord, over Israel: therefore will I play before the Lord.
22 And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour.
23 Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death.

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.
