International Standard Version

1Then David conferred with all his leaders, the commanders of hundreds and of thousands.

1Later, David conferred with every officer in charge of groups of thousands and groups of hundreds.

2And he said to the whole assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if this is of the LORD our God, let us send word far and wide to the rest of our brothers in all the land of Israel, and also to the priests and Levites in their cities and pasturelands, so that they may join us.

2Then he addressed the entire community of Israel, "If it seems good to you and something from the Lord our God, let's spread word to all of our relatives who remain throughout the entire land of Israel, including the priests and descendants of Levi in the cities and pasture lands, so they can gather together with us.

3Then let us bring back the ark of our God, for we did not inquire of Him in the days of Saul.”

3Then let's bring the Ark of God back to us, because we didn't consult it during Saul's reign."

4And because this proposal seemed right to all the people, the whole assembly agreed to it.

4The entire community consented, because doing so pleased all the people.

5So David assembled all Israel, from the River Shihor in Egypt to Lebo-hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.

5So David assembled all of Israel—from the Shihor River of Egypt to Lebo-hamath—in order to bring the Ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.

6David and all Israel went up to Baalah of Judah (that is, Kiriath-jearim) to bring up from there the ark of God the LORD, who is enthroned between the cherubim—the ark that is called by the Name.

6David, accompanied by all of Israel, went up to Baalah (the former name of Kiriath-jearim), which belonged to Judah, to bring from there the Ark of God, the LORD, who sits enthroned on the cherubim, and who is called the Name.

7So they carried the ark of God from the house of Abinadab on a new cart, with Uzzah and Ahio guiding the cart.

7They mounted the Ark of God on a new cart, bringing it from Abinadab's home, with Uzzah and Ahio driving the cart.

8David and all the Israelites were celebrating before God with all their might, with songs and on harps and lyres, with tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets.

8David and all of Israel were dancing in the presence of God with all of their might with songs, harps, tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets.

9When they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark, because the oxen had stumbled.

9As they approached Chidon's threshing floor, Uzzah put out his hand to steady the ark, because the oxen had stumbled.

10And the anger of the LORD burned against Uzzah, and He struck him down because he had put his hand on the ark. So he died there before God.

10Just then, the anger of the LORD blazed against Uzzah, and he struck him down because he had put his hand on the ark, and he died right there in the presence of God.

11Then David became angry because the LORD had burst forth against Uzzah; so he named that place Perez-uzzah, as it is called to this day.

11David flew into a rage because the LORD had killed Uzzah. As a result, that place was called Perez-uzzah to this day.

12That day David feared God and asked, “How can I ever bring the ark of God to me?”

12But David feared God that day, and asked "How am I to bring the Ark of God to me?"

13So he did not move the ark with him to the City of David; instead, he took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

13As a result, David would not take the ark into the City of David for it to be in his care. Instead, he took it to the home of Obed-edom the Gittite.

14Thus the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house for three months, and the LORD blessed his household and everything he owned.

14So the Ark of God remained in the care of Obed-edom's household for three months, and God blessed Obed-edom's household, along with everyone associated with it.
