6:1 Again, David 1732 gathered together 622 8799 8676 3254 8686 all [the] chosen 977 8803 [men] of Israel 3478, thirty 7970 thousand 505.

6:2 And David 1732 arose 6965 8799, and went 3212 8799 with all the people 5971 that [were] with him from Baale of Judah 1184, to bring up 5927 8687 from thence the ark 727 of God 430, whose name 8034 is called 7121 8738 by the name 8034 of the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 that dwelleth 3427 8802 [between] the cherubims 3742.(Baale: or, Baalah, that is, Kirjathjearim)(whose name…: or, at which the name, even the name of the LORD of hosts, was called upon)

6:3 And they set 7392 8686 the ark 727 of God 430 upon a new 2319 cart 5699, and brought 5375 8799 it out of the house 1004 of Abinadab 41 that [was] in Gibeah 1390: and Uzzah 5798 and Ahio 283, the sons 1121 of Abinadab 41, drave 5090 8802 the new 2319 cart 5699.(set: Heb. made to ride)(Gibeah: or, the hill)

6:4 And they brought 5375 8799 it out of the house 1004 of Abinadab 41 which [was] at Gibeah 1390, accompanying 5973 the ark 727 of God 430: and Ahio 283 went 1980 8802 before 6440 the ark 727.(accompanying: Heb. with)

6:5 And David 1732 and all the house 1004 of Israel 3478 played 7832 8764 before 6440 the LORD 3068 on all manner of [instruments made of] fir 1265 wood 6086, even on harps 3658, and on psalteries 5035, and on timbrels 8596, and on cornets 4517, and on cymbals 6767.

6:6 And when they came 935 8799 to Nachon's 5225 threshingfloor 1637, Uzzah 5798 put forth 7971 8799 [his hand] to the ark 727 of God 430, and took hold 270 8799 of it; for the oxen 1241 shook 8058 8804 [it].(shook it: or, stumbled)

6:7 And the anger 639 of the LORD 3068 was kindled 2734 8799 against Uzzah 5798; and God 430 smote 5221 8686 him there for [his] error 7944; and there he died 4191 8799 by the ark 727 of God 430.(error: or, rashness)

6:8 And David 1732 was displeased 2734 8799, because the LORD 3068 had made 6555 8804 a breach 6556 upon Uzzah 5798: and he called 7121 8799 the name of the place 4725 Perezuzzah 6560 to this day 3117.(made: Heb. broken)(Perezuzzah: that is, the breach of Uzzah)

6:9 And David 1732 was afraid 3372 8799 of the LORD 3068 that day 3117, and said 559 8799, How shall the ark 727 of the LORD 3068 come 935 8799 to me?

6:10 So David 1732 would 14 8804 not remove 5493 8687 the ark 727 of the LORD 3068 unto him into the city 5892 of David 1732: but David 1732 carried it aside 5186 8686 into the house 1004 of Obededom 5654 the Gittite 1663.

6:11 And the ark 727 of the LORD 3068 continued 3427 8799 in the house 1004 of Obededom 5654 the Gittite 1663 three 7969 months 2320: and the LORD 3068 blessed 1288 8762 Obededom 5654, and all his household 1004.

6:12 And it was told 5046 8714 king 4428 David 1732, saying 559 8800, The LORD 3068 hath blessed 1288 8765 the house 1004 of Obededom 5654, and all that [pertaineth] unto him, because of the ark 727 of God 430. So David 1732 went 3212 8799 and brought up 5927 8686 the ark 727 of God 430 from the house 1004 of Obededom 5654 into the city 5892 of David 1732 with gladness 8057.

6:13 And it was [so], that when they that bare 5375 8802 the ark 727 of the LORD 3068 had gone 6805 8804 six 8337 paces 6806, he sacrificed 2076 8799 oxen 7794 and fatlings 4806.

6:14 And David 1732 danced 3769 8772 before 6440 the LORD 3068 with all [his] might 5797; and David 1732 [was] girded 2296 8803 with a linen 906 ephod 646.

6:15 So David 1732 and all the house 1004 of Israel 3478 brought up 5927 8688 the ark 727 of the LORD 3068 with shouting 8643, and with the sound 6963 of the trumpet 7782.

6:16 And as the ark 727 of the LORD 3068 came 935 8802 into the city 5892 of David 1732, Michal 4324 Saul's 7586 daughter 1323 looked 8259 8738 through a window 2474, and saw 7200 8799 king 4428 David 1732 leaping 6339 8764 and dancing 3769 8772 before 6440 the LORD 3068; and she despised 959 8799 him in her heart 3820.

6:17 And they brought 935 8686 in the ark 727 of the LORD 3068, and set 3322 8686 it in his place 4725, in the midst 8432 of the tabernacle 168 that David 1732 had pitched 5186 8804 for it: and David 1732 offered 5927 8686 burnt offerings 5930 and peace offerings 8002 before 6440 the LORD 3068.(pitched: Heb. stretched)

6:18 And as soon as David 1732 had made an end 3615 8762 of offering 5927 8687 burnt offerings 5930 and peace offerings 8002, he blessed 1288 8762 the people 5971 in the name 8034 of the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635.

6:19 And he dealt 2505 8762 among all the people 5971, [even] among the whole multitude 1995 of Israel 3478, as well to the women 802 as men 376, to every one 376 a 259 cake 2471 of bread 3899, and a good piece 829 [of flesh], and a flagon 809 [of wine]. So all the people 5971 departed 3212 8799 every one 376 to his house 1004.

6:20 Then David 1732 returned 7725 8799 to bless 1288 8763 his household 1004. And Michal 4324 the daughter 1323 of Saul 7586 came out 3318 8799 to meet 7125 8800 David 1732, and said 559 8799, How glorious 3513 8738 was the king 4428 of Israel 3478 to day 3117, who uncovered 1540 8738 himself to day 3117 in the eyes 5869 of the handmaids 519 of his servants 5650, as one 259 of the vain fellows 7386 shamelessly 1540 8736 uncovereth 1540 8736 himself!(shamelessly: or, openly)

6:21 And David 1732 said 559 8799 unto Michal 4324, [It was] before 6440 the LORD 3068, which chose 977 8804 me before thy father 1, and before all his house 1004, to appoint 6680 8763 me ruler 5057 over the people 5971 of the LORD 3068, over Israel 3478: therefore will I play 7832 8765 before 6440 the LORD 3068.

6:22 And I will yet be more vile 7043 8738 than thus 2063, and will be base 8217 in mine own sight 5869: and of the maidservants 519 which thou hast spoken 559 8804 of, of them shall I be had in honour 3513 8735.(of the…: or, of the handmaids of my servants)

6:23 Therefore Michal 4324 the daughter 1323 of Saul 7586 had no child 2056 8675 3206 unto the day 3117 of her death 4194.
