012:038 All these being men of war, who could order the battle array, came with a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel: and all the rest also of Israel were of one heart to make David king. 012:039 They were there with David three days, eating and drinking; for their brothers had made preparation for them. 012:040 Moreover those who were near to them, [even] as far as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread on donkeys, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen, food of meal, cakes of figs, and clusters of raisins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep in abundance: for there was joy in Israel. 013:001 David consulted with the captains of thousands and of hundreds, even with every leader. 013:002 David said to all the assembly of Israel, If it seem good to you, and if it be of Yahweh our God, let us send abroad everywhere to our brothers who are left in all the land of Israel, with whom the priests and Levites are in their cities that have suburbs, that they may gather themselves to us; 013:003 and let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we didn't seek it in the days of Saul. 013:004 All the assembly said that they would do so; for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people. 013:005 So David assembled all Israel together, from the Shihor [the brook] of Egypt even to the entrance of Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath Jearim. 013:006 David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, [that is], to Kiriath Jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God Yahweh that sits [above] the cherubim, that is called by the Name. 013:007 They carried the ark of God on a new cart, [and brought it] out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart. 013:008 David and all Israel played before God with all their might, even with songs, and with harps, and with stringed instruments, and with tambourines, and with cymbals, and with trumpets. 013:009 When they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled. 013:010 The anger of Yahweh was kindled against Uzza, and he struck him, because he put forth his hand to the ark; and there he died before God. 013:011 David was displeased, because Yahweh had broken forth on Uzza; and he called that place Perez Uzza, to this day. 013:012 David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God home to me? 013:013 So David didn't move the ark to him into the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite. 013:014 The ark of God remained with the family of Obed-Edom in his house three months: and Yahweh blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that he had.
