005:014 These are the names of those who were born to him
in Jerusalem: Shammua, and Shobab, and Nathan, and Solomon,
005:015 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
005:016 and Elishama, and Eliada, and Eliphelet.
005:017 When the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king
over Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David;
and David heard of it, and went down to the stronghold.
005:018 Now the Philistines had come and spread themselves in the
valley of Rephaim.
005:019 David inquired of Yahweh, saying, Shall I go up against
the Philistines? will you deliver them into my hand?
Yahweh said to David, Go up; for I will certainly deliver
the Philistines into your hand.
005:020 David came to Baal Perazim, and David struck them there; and he said,
Yahweh has broken my enemies before me, like the breach of waters.
Therefore he called the name of that place Baal Perazim.
005:021 They left their images there; and David and his men took them away.
005:022 The Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves
in the valley of Rephaim.
005:023 When David inquired of Yahweh, he said, You shall not go up:
make a circuit behind them, and come on them over against
the mulberry trees.
005:024 It shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops
of the mulberry trees, that then you shall bestir yourself;
for then is Yahweh gone out before you to strike the army
of the Philistines.
005:025 David did so, as Yahweh commanded him, and struck the Philistines
from Geba until you come to Gezer.
006:001 David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel,
thirty thousand.
006:002 David arose, and went with all the people who were with him,
from Baale Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God,
which is called by the Name, even the name of Yahweh of Armies
who sits [above] the cherubim.
006:003 They set the ark of God on a new cart, and brought it
out of the house of Abinadab that was in the hill:
and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.
006:004 They brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was in the hill,
with the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark.
006:005 David and all the house of Israel played before Yahweh with all
manner of [instruments made of] fir wood, and with harps,
and with stringed instruments, and with tambourines,
and with castanets, and with cymbals.
006:006 When they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah put
forth [his hand] to the ark of God, and took hold of it;
for the oxen stumbled.
006:007 The anger of Yahweh was kindled against Uzzah; and God struck
him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.
006:008 David was displeased, because Yahweh had broken forth on Uzzah;
and he called that place Perez Uzzah, to this day.
