Book 13 : 1 CHRONICLES - Chapter 013
013:001
And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, If it seem
good unto you, and that it be of the LORD our God, let us send
abroad unto our brethren every where, that are left in all the
land of Israel, and with them also to the priests and Levites
which are in their cities and suburbs, that they may gather
themselves unto us
013:002
And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we
enquired not at it in the days of Saul
013:003
And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the
thing was right in the eyes of all the people
013:004
So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt
even unto the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from
Kirjathjearim
013:005
And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to
Kirjathjearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up thence the
ark of God the LORD, that dwelleth between the cherubims,
whose name is called on it
013:006
And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house
of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave the cart

And David and all Israel played before God with all their
might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries,
and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets
013:008
And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put
forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled
013:009
And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he
smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he
died before God
013:010
And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach
upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perezuzza to this
day
013:011
And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I
bring the ark of God home to me
013:012
So David brought not the ark home to himself to the city of
David, but carried it aside into the house of Obededom the
Gittite
013:013
And the ark of God remained with the family of Obededom in his
house three months. And the LORD blessed the house of
Obededom, and all that he had
