The Scriptures 1998

1 Chronicles 13:5-14 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

5. So Dawiḏ assembled all Yisra’ĕl, from Shiḥor in Mitsrayim to as far as the entrance of Ḥamath, to bring the ark of Elohim from Qiryath Ye‛arim.

6. And Dawiḏ and all Yisra’ĕl went up to Ba‛alah, to Qiryath Ye‛arim of Yehuḏah, to bring up from there the ark of Elohim, יהוה, who dwells between the keruḥim, where the Name is called on.

7. And they placed the ark of Elohim on a new wagon from the house of Aḇinaḏaḇ, and Uzza and Aḥyo were leading the wagon.

8. And Dawiḏ and all Yisra’ĕl were playing before Elohim with all their might, and with songs, and with lyres, and with harps, and with tambourines, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.

9. And when they came to the threshing-floor of Kiḏon, Uzza put out his hand to hold the ark, for the oxen stumbled.

10. Then the wrath of יהוה burned against Uzza, and He smote him because he put his hand to the ark. And he died there before Elohim.

11. And Dawiḏ was displeased because יהוה had broken out against Uzza, therefore that place is called Perets Uzza, until this day.

12. And Dawiḏ was afraid of Elohim that day, saying, “How shall I bring the ark of Elohim to me?”

13. So Dawiḏ did not take the ark with him into the City of Dawiḏ, but took it aside into the house of Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom the Gittite.

14. And the ark of Elohim remained with the household of Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom in his house three months. And יהוה blessed the house of Oḇĕḏ-Eḏom and all that he had.
