1 And David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, and with every leader. 2 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: 3 And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we enquired not at it in the days of Saul. 4 And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people. 5 So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjath-jearim. 6 And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is , to Kirjath-jearim, 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 . 7 And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave the cart. 8 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.
9 ¶ And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled. 10 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. 11 And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perez-uzza to this day. 12 And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God home to me? 13 So David brought not the ark home to himself to the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite. 14 And the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house three months. And the LORD blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that he had.
1 iniit autem consilium David cum tribunis et centurionibus
et universis principibus
2 et ait ad omnem coetum Israhel si placet vobis
et a Domino Deo nostro egreditur sermo quem loquor
mittamus ad fratres nostros reliquos in universas regiones Israhel
et ad sacerdotes et Levitas qui habitant in suburbanis urbium
ut congregentur ad nos
3 et reducamus arcam Dei nostri ad nos
non enim requisivimus eam in diebus Saul
4 et respondit universa multitudo ut ita fieret
placuerat enim sermo omni populo
5 congregavit ergo David cunctum Israhel
a Sior Aegypti usque dum ingrediaris Emath
ut adduceret arcam Dei de Cariathiarim
6 et ascendit David et omnis vir Israhel
ad collem Cariathiarim quae est in Iuda
ut adferrent inde arcam Dei Domini sedentis super cherubin
ubi invocatum est nomen eius
7 inposueruntque arcam Dei super plaustrum novum de domo Aminadab
Oza autem et fratres eius minabant plaustrum
8 porro David et universus Israhel ludebant coram Deo omni virtute
in canticis et in citharis et psalteriis et tympanis et
cymbalis et tubis
9 cum autem pervenissent ad aream Chidon
tetendit Oza manum suam ut sustentaret arcam
bos quippe lasciviens paululum inclinaverat eam
10 iratus est itaque Dominus contra Ozam
et percussit eum eo quod contigisset arcam
et mortuus est ibi coram Deo
11 contristatusque David eo quod divisisset Dominus Ozam
vocavit locum illum Divisio Oza usque in
praesentem diem
12 et timuit Deum tunc temporis dicens
quomodo possum ad me introducere arcam Dei
13 et ob hanc causam non eam adduxit ad se
hoc est in civitatem David
sed avertit in domum Obededom Getthei
14 mansit ergo arca Dei in domo Obededom tribus mensibus
et benedixit Dominus domui eius et omnibus quae habebat
