David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.

David consulted with all his leaders, the commanders of hundreds and of thousands.Then he said to the whole assembly of Israel,“ If it seems good to you, and if this is from the LORD our God, let’s spread out and send the message to the rest of our relatives in all the districts of Israel, including the priests and Levites in their cities with pasturelands, that they should gather together with us.Then let’s bring back the ark of our God, for we did not inquire of him in Saul’s days.”Since the proposal seemed right to all the people, the whole assembly agreed to do it.

At that time Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, all the tribal heads and the ancestral leaders of the Israelites before him at Jerusalem in order to bring the ark of the LORD’s covenant from the city of David, that is Zion.

David and all Israel went to Baalah( that is, Kiriath-jearim that belongs to Judah) to take from there the ark of God, which bears the name of the LORD who is enthroned between the cherubim.At Abinadab’s house they set the ark of God on a new cart. Uzzah and Ahio were guiding the cart.David and all Israel were dancing with all their might before God with songs and with lyres, harps, tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets.When they came to Chidon’s threshing floor, Uzzah reached out to hold the ark because the oxen had stumbled.Then the LORD’s anger burned against Uzzah, and he struck him dead because he had reached out to the ark. So he died there in the presence of God.David was angry because of the LORD’s outburst against Uzzah, so he named that place Outburst Against Uzzah, as it is still named today.David feared God that day and said,“ How can I ever bring the ark of God to me?”So David did not bring the ark of God home to the city of David; instead, he diverted it to the house of Obed-edom of Gath.The ark of God remained with Obed-edom’s family in his house for three months, and the LORD blessed his family and all that he had.

LORD, remember David and all the hardships he endured,and how he swore an oath to the LORD, making a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:“ I will not enter my house or get into my bed,I will not allow my eyes to sleep or my eyelids to slumberuntil I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”We heard of the ark in Ephrathah; we found it in the fields of Jaar.

All the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and said,“ Here we are, your own flesh and blood.
