2 Samuel 6:1-5 Amplified Bible (AMP)

1. AGAIN DAVID gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, 30,000.

2. And [he] arose and went with all the people who were with him to Baale-judah [Kiriath-jearim] to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the name of the Lord of hosts, Who sits enthroned above the cherubim.

3. And they set the ark of God upon a new cart and brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill; and Uzzah and Ahio, sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.

4. And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill, with the ark of God; and Ahio went before the ark.

5. And David and all the house of Israel played before the Lord with all their might, with songs, lyres, harps, tambourines, castanets, and cymbals.
