Dual Panel1David <01732> again assembled <05750> <03254> all <03605> the best men <0970> in Israel <03478>, thirty <07970> thousand <0505> in number.
2David <01732> and all <03605> the men <05971> who <0834> were with <0854> him traveled <01980> <06965> to Baalah in Judah <01184> to bring up <05927> from there <08033> the <0853> ark <0727> of God <0430> which <0834> is called <07121> by the name <08034> of the Lord <03068> of hosts <06635>, who sits enthroned <03427> between the cherubim <03742> that are on <05921> it.
3They loaded <07392> the ark <0727> of God <0430> on <0413> a new <02319> cart <05699> and carried <05375> it from the house <01004> of Abinadab <041>, which <0834> was on the hill <01389>. Uzzah <05798> and Ahio <0283>, the sons <01121> of Abinadab <041>, were guiding <05090> the new <02319> cart <05699>.
4They brought <05375> it with <05973> the ark <0727> of God <0430> up <05375> from the house <01004> of Abinadab <041> on the hill <01389>. Ahio <0283> was walking <01980> in front <06440> of the ark <0727>,
5while David <01732> and all <03605> Israel <03478> <01004> were energetically celebrating <07832> before <06440> the Lord <03068>, singing and playing various <03605> stringed instruments <05035> <03658>, tambourines <08596>, rattles <04517>, and cymbals <06767>.
6When <05704> they arrived <0935> at the threshing floor <01637> of Nacon <05225>, Uzzah <05798> reached out <07971> and grabbed hold <0270> of the ark <0727> of God <0430>, because <03588> the oxen <01241> stumbled <08058>.
7The Lord <03068> was so furious <0639> <02734> with Uzzah <05798>, he killed <05221> him on the spot <08033> for <05921> his negligence <07944>. He died <04191> right there <08033> beside <05973> the ark <0727> of God <0430>.
8David <01732> was angry <02734> because <05921> the Lord <03068> attacked <06556> <06555> Uzzah <05798>; so he called <07121> that place <04725> Perez Uzzah <06560>, which remains <05704> its name to this <02088> very day <03117>.
9David <01732> was afraid <03372> of the Lord <03068> that <01931> day <03117> and said <0559>, “How <0349> will the ark <0727> of the Lord <03068> ever come <0935> to <0413> me?”
10So David <01732> was no <03808> longer willing <014> to bring <05493> the ark <0727> of the Lord <03068> to be with <0413> him in <05921> the City <05892> of David <01732>. David <01732> left <05186> it in the house <01004> of Obed-Edom <05654> the Gittite <01663>.
11The ark <0727> of the Lord <03068> remained <03427> in the house <01004> of Obed-Edom <05654> the Gittite <01663> for three <07969> months <02320>. The Lord <03068> blessed <01288> Obed-Edom <05654> and all <03605> his family <01004>.
12David <01732> was told <05046>, “The Lord <03068> has blessed <01288> the family <01004> of Obed-Edom <05654> and everything <03605> he owns because of <05668> the ark <0727> of God <0430>.” So David <01732> went <01980> and joyfully <08057> brought <05927> the ark <0727> of God <0430> from the house <01004> of Obed-Edom <05654> to the City <05892> of David <01732>.
13Those who <03588> carried <05375> the ark <0727> of the Lord <03068> took <06805> six <08337> steps <06806> and then David sacrificed <02076> an ox <07794> and a fatling calf <04806>.
14Now David <01732>, wearing <02296> a linen <0906> ephod <0646>, was dancing <03769> with all <03605> his <01732> strength <05797> before <06440> the Lord <03068>.
15David <01732> and all <03605> Israel <03478> <01004> were bringing up <05927> the ark <0727> of the Lord <03068>, shouting <08643> and blowing trumpets <07782> <06963>.
16As <01961> the ark <0727> of the Lord <03068> entered <0935> the City <05892> of David <01732>, Saul’s <07586> daughter <01323> Michal <04324> looked <08259> out <01157> the window <02474>. When she saw <07200> King <04428> David <01732> leaping <06339> and dancing <03769> before <06440> the Lord <03068>, she despised <0959> him.
17They brought <0935> the ark <0727> of the Lord <03068> and put <03322> it in its place <04725> in the middle <08432> of the tent <0168> that <0834> David <01732> had pitched <05186> for it. Then David <01732> offered <05927> burnt sacrifices <05930> and peace offerings <08002> before <06440> the Lord <03068>.
18When David <01732> finished <03615> offering <05927> the burnt sacrifices <05930> and peace offerings <08002>, he pronounced a blessing <01288> over the people <05971> in the name <08034> of the Lord <03068> of hosts <06635>.
19He then handed out <02505> to each <03605> member <05971> of the entire <03605> assembly <01995> of Israel <03478>, both men <0376> and women <0802>, a <0259> portion <0829> of bread <03899>, a <0259> date cake <02471>, and a <0259> raisin cake <0809>. Then all <03605> the people <0376> <05971> went <01980> home <01004>.
20When David <01732> went home <07725> to pronounce a blessing <01288> on his own house <01004>, Michal <04324>, Saul’s <07586> daughter <01323>, came out <03318> to meet <07125> him <01732>. She said <0559>, “How <04100> the king <04428> of Israel <03478> has distinguished <03513> himself this day <03117>! He has exposed <01540> himself today <03117> before <05869> his servants <05650>’ slave girls <0519> the way a <0259> vulgar <01540> <01540> fool <07386> might do <01540> <01540>!”
21David <01732> replied <0559> to <0413> Michal <04324>, “It was before <06440> the Lord <03068>! I was celebrating <07832> before <06440> the Lord <03068>, who <0834> chose <0977> me over your father <01> and his entire <03605> family <01004> and appointed <06680> me as leader <05057> over <05921> the Lord’s <03068> people <05971> Israel <03478>.
22I am <01961> willing to shame <08217> and humiliate <07043> myself even more <05750> than this <02063>! But with <05973> the slave girls <0519> whom <0834> you mentioned <0559> let me <05973> be distinguished <03513>!”
23Now Michal <04324>, Saul’s <07586> daughter <01323>, had <01961> no <03808> children <03206> to <05704> the day <03117> of her death <04194>.
