13:1 And David 1732 consulted 3289 8735 with the captains 8269 of thousands 505 and hundreds 3967, [and] with every leader 5057.

13:2 And David 1732 said 559 8799 unto all the congregation 6951 of Israel 3478, If [it seem] good 2895 8804 unto you, and [that it be] of the LORD 3068 our God 430, let us send 7971 8799 abroad 6555 8799 unto our brethren 251 every where, [that are] left 7604 8737 in all the land 776 of Israel 3478, and with them [also] to the priests 3548 and Levites 3881 [which are] in their cities 5892 [and] suburbs 4054, that they may gather 6908 8735 themselves unto us:(send…: Heb. break forth and send)(in their…: Heb. in the cities of their suburbs)

13:3 And let us bring again 5437 8686 the ark 727 of our God 430 to us: for we enquired 1875 8804 not at it in the days 3117 of Saul 7586.(bring…: Heb. bring about)

13:4 And all the congregation 6951 said 559 8799 that they would do so 6213 8800: for the thing 1697 was right 3474 8804 in the eyes 5869 of all the people 5971.

13:5 So David 1732 gathered 6950 0 all Israel 3478 together 6950 8686, from Shihor 7883 of Egypt 4714 even unto the entering 935 8800 of Hemath 2574, to bring 935 8687 the ark 727 of God 430 from Kirjathjearim 7157.

13:6 And David 1732 went up 5927 8799, and all Israel 3478, to Baalah 1173, [that is], to Kirjathjearim 7157, which [belonged] to Judah 3063, to bring up 5927 8687 thence the ark 727 of God 430 the LORD 3068, that dwelleth 3427 8802 [between] the cherubims 3742, whose name 8034 is called 7121 8738 [on it].

13:7 And they carried 7392 8686 the ark 727 of God 430 in a new 2319 cart 5699 out of the house 1004 of Abinadab 41: and Uzza 5798 and Ahio 283 drave 5090 8802 the cart 5699.(carried…: Heb. made the ark to ride)

13:8 And David 1732 and all Israel 3478 played 7832 8764 before 6440 God 430 with all [their] might 5797, and with singing 7892, and with harps 3658, and with psalteries 5035, and with timbrels 8596, and with cymbals 4700, and with trumpets 2689.(singing: Heb. songs)

13:9 And when they came 935 8799 unto the threshingfloor 1637 of Chidon 3592, Uzza 5798 put forth 7971 8799 his hand 3027 to hold 270 8800 the ark 727; for the oxen 1241 stumbled 8058 8804.(Chidon: also called Nachon, 2.Sam.6.6.)(stumbled: or, shook it)

13:10 And the anger 639 of the LORD 3068 was kindled 2734 8799 against Uzza 5798, and he smote 5221 8686 him, because he put 7971 8804 his hand 3027 to the ark 727: and there he died 4191 8799 before 6440 God 430.

13:11 And David 1732 was displeased 2734 8799, because the LORD 3068 had made 6555 8804 a breach 6556 upon Uzza 5798: wherefore that place 4725 is called 7121 8799 Perezuzza 6560 to this day 3117.(Perezuzza: that is, The breach of Uzza)

13:12 And David 1732 was afraid 3372 8799 of God 430 that day 3117, saying 559 8800, How 1963 shall I bring 935 8686 the ark 727 of God 430 [home] to me?

13:13 So David 1732 brought 5493 8689 not the ark 727 [home] to himself to the city 5892 of David 1732, but carried it aside 5186 8686 into the house 1004 of Obededom 5654 the Gittite 1663.(brought: Heb. removed)

13:14 And the ark 727 of God 430 remained 3427 8799 with the family 1004 of Obededom 5654 in his house 1004 three 7969 months 2320. And the LORD 3068 blessed 1288 8762 the house 1004 of Obededom 5654, and all that he had.
