Peril
in Transporting the Ark |
|
|
 |
| 1 Chronicles 13:1 |
|
Then David consulted with the captains of the
thousands and the hundreds, even with every leader. |
|
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 13:2 |
|
David said to all the assembly of Israel, "If
it seems good to you, and if it is from the LORD our God, let us send everywhere
to our kinsmen who remain in all the land of Israel, also to the priests and Levites
who are with them in their cities with pasture lands, that they may meet with
us; |
| |
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 13:3 |
|
and let us bring back the ark of our God to
us, for we did not seek it in the days of Saul." |
| |
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 13:4 |
|
Then all the assembly said that they would do
so, for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 13:5 |
|
So David assembled all Israel together, from
the Shihor of Egypt even to the entrance of Hamath, to bring the ark of God from
Kiriath-jearim. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 13:6 |
|
David and all Israel went up to Baalah, that
is, to Kiriath-jearim, which belongs to Judah, to bring up from there the ark
of God, the LORD who is enthroned above the cherubim, where His name is called. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 13:7 |
|
They carried the ark of God on a new cart from
the house of Abinadab, and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 13:8 |
|
David and all Israel were celebrating before
God with all their might, even with songs and with lyres, harps, tambourines,
cymbals and with trumpets. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 13:9 |
|
When they came to the threshing floor of Chidon,
Uzza put out his hand to hold the ark, because the oxen nearly upset it. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 13:10 |
|
The anger of the LORD burned against Uzza, so
He struck him down because he put out his hand to the ark; and he died there before
God. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 13:11 |
|
Then David became angry because of the LORD'S
outburst against Uzza; and he called that place Perez-uzza to this day. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 13:12 |
|
David was afraid of God that day, saying, "How
can I bring the ark of God home to me?" |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 13:13 |
|
So David did not take the ark with him to the
city of David, but took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite. |
|
|
|
| 1 Chronicles 13:14 |
|
Thus the ark of God remained with the family
of Obed-edom in his house three months; and the LORD blessed the family of Obed-edom
with all that he had. |
