6:1 David
again
gathered
all
the
chosen
men
of
Israel,
thirty
thousand.
6:2 And
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
of
the
LORD
of
hosts
who
sits
enthroned
on
the
cherubim.
6:3 And
they
carried
the
ark
of
God
on
a
new
cart
and
brought
it
out
of
the
house
of
Abinadab,
which
was
on
the
hill.
And
Uzzah
and
Ahio,
the
sons
of
Abinadab,
were
driving
the
new
cart,
6:4 with
the
ark
of
God,
and
Ahio
went
before
the
ark.
6:5 And
David
and
all
the
house
of
Israel
were
making
merry
before
the
LORD,
with
songs
and
lyres
and
harps
and
tambourines
and
castanets
and
cymbals.
6:6 And
when
they
came
to
the
threshing
floor
of
Nacon,
Uzzah
put
out
his
hand
to
the
ark
of
God
and
took
hold
of
it,
for
the
oxen
stumbled.
6:7 And
the
anger
of
the
LORD
was
kindled
against
Uzzah,
and
God
struck
him
down
there
because
of
his
error,
and
he
died
there
beside
the
ark
of
God.
6:8 And
David
was
angry
because
the
LORD
had
burst
forth
against
Uzzah.
And
that
place
is
called
Perez-uzzah,
to
this
day.
6:9 And
David
was
afraid
of
the
LORD
that
day,
and
he
said,
"How
can
the
ark
of
the
LORD
come
to
me"
6:10 So
David
was
not
willing
to
take
the
ark
of
the
LORD
into
the
city
of
David.
But
David
took
it
aside
to
the
house
of
Obed-edom
the
Gittite.
6:11 And
the
ark
of
the
LORD
remained
in
the
house
of
Obed-edom
the
Gittite
three
months,
and
the
LORD
blessed
Obed-edom
and
all
his
household.
6:12 And
it
was
told
King
David,
"The
LORD
has
blessed
the
household
of
Obed-edom
and
all
that
belongs
to
him,
because
of
the
ark
of
God."
So
David
went
and
brought
up
the
ark
of
God
from
the
house
of
Obed-edom
to
the
city
of
David
with
rejoicing.
6:13 And
when
those
who
bore
the
ark
of
the
LORD
had
gone
six
steps,
he
sacrificed
an
ox
and
a
fattened
animal.
6:14 And
David
danced
before
the
LORD
with
all
his
might.
And
David
was
wearing
a
linen
ephod.
6:15 So
David
and
all
the
house
of
Israel
brought
up
the
ark
of
the
LORD
with
shouting
and
with
the
sound
of
the
horn.
6:16 As
the
ark
of
the
LORD
came
into
the
city
of
David,
Michal
the
daughter
of
Saul
looked
out
of
the
window
and
saw
King
David
leaping
and
dancing
before
the
LORD,
and
she
despised
him
in
her
heart.
6:17 And
they
brought
in
the
ark
of
the
LORD
and
set
it
in
its
place,
inside
the
tent
that
David
had
pitched
for
it.
And
David
offered
burnt
offerings
and
peace
offerings
before
the
LORD.
6:18 And
when
David
had
finished
offering
the
burnt
offerings
and
the
peace
offerings,
he
blessed
the
people
in
the
name
of
the
LORD
of
hosts
6:19 and
distributed
among
all
the
people,
the
whole
multitude
of
Israel,
both
men
and
women,
a
cake
of
bread,
a
portion
of
meat,
and
a
cake
of
raisins
to
each
one.
Then
all
the
people
departed,
each
to
his
house.
6:20 And
David
returned
to
bless
his
household.
But
Michal
the
daughter
of
Saul
came
out
to
meet
David
and
said,
"How
the
king
of
Israel
honored
himself
today,
uncovering
himself
today
before
the
eyes
of
his
servants'
female
servants,
as
one
of
the
vulgar
fellows
shamelessly
uncovers
himself!"
6:21 And
David
said
to
Michal,
"It
was
before
the
LORD,
who
chose
me
above
your
father
and
above
all
his
house,
to
appoint
me
as
prince
over
Israel,
the
people
of
the
LORD--and
I
will
make
merry
before
the
LORD.
6:22 I
will
make
myself
yet
more
contemptible
than
this,
and
I
will
be
abased
in
your
eyes.
But
by
the
female
servants
of
whom
you
have
spoken,
by
them
I
shall
be
held
in
honor."
6:23 And
Michal
the
daughter
of
Saul
had
no
child
to
the
day
of
her
death.
