chapter 13
1
And
David consulted with the captains of thousands, and of hundreds, and with all
the commanders.
2 And he said to all the assembly of Israel: If it
please you; and if the words which I speak come from the Lord our God, let us
send to the rest of our brethren into all the countries of Israel, and to the
priests, and the Levites, that dwell in the suburbs of the cities, to gather
themselves to us,
3 And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for
we sought it not in the days of Saul.
4 And all the multitude answered that it should be so:
for the word pleased all the people.
5 So David assembled all Israel from Sihor of Egypt,
even to the entering into Emath, to bring the ark of God from Cariathiarim.
6 And David went up with all the men of Israel to the
hill of Cariathiarim which is in Juda, to bring thence the ark of the Lord God
sitting upon the cherubims, where his name is called upon.
7 And they carried the ark of God upon a new cart, out
of the house of Abinadab. And Oza and his brother drove the cart.
8 And David and all Israel played before God with all
their might with hymns, and with harps, and with psalteries, and timbrels, and
cymbals, and trumpets,
9 And when they came to the floor of Chidon, Oza put
forth his hand, to hold up the ark: for the ox being wanton had made it lean a
little on one side.
10 And the Lord was angry with Oza, and struck him,
because he had touched the ark; and he died there before the Lord.
11 And David was troubled because the Lord had divided
Oza: and he called that place the Breach of Oza to this day.
12 And he feared God at that time, saying: How can I
bring in the ark of God to me?
13 And therefore he brought it not home to himself,
that is, into the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of
Obededom the Gethite.
14 And the ark of God remained in the house of Obededom
three months: and the Lord blessed his house, and all that he had.
