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

David consulted with his military officers, including those who led groups of a thousand and those who led groups of a hundred.David said to the whole Israelite assembly,“ If you so desire and the LORD our God approves, let’s spread the word to our brothers who remain in all the regions of Israel, and to the priests and Levites in their cities, so they may join us.Let’s move the ark of our God back here, for we did not seek his will throughout Saul’s reign.”The whole assembly agreed to do this, for the proposal seemed right to all the people.

Then Solomon convened in Jerusalem Israel’s elders, all the leaders of the Israelite tribes and families, so they could witness the transferal of the ark of the LORD’s covenant from the city of David( that is, Zion).

David and all Israel went up to Baalah( that is, Kiriath Jearim) in Judah to bring up from there the ark of God the LORD, who sits enthroned between the cherubim– the ark that is called by his name.They transported the ark on a new cart from the house of Abinadab; Uzzah and Ahio were guiding the cart,while David and all Israel were energetically celebrating before God, singing and playing various stringed instruments, tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets.When they arrived at the threshing floor of Kidon, Uzzah reached out his hand to take hold of the ark, because the oxen stumbled.The LORD was so furious with Uzzah, he killed him, because he reached out his hand and touched the ark. He died right there before God.David was angry because the LORD attacked Uzzah; so he called that place Perez Uzzah, which remains its name to this very day.David was afraid of God that day and said,“ How will I ever be able to bring the ark of God up here?”So David did not move the ark to the City of David; he left it in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.The ark of God remained in Obed-Edom’s house for three months; the LORD blessed Obed-Edom’s family and everything that belonged to him.

O LORD, for David’s sake remember all his strenuous effort,and how he made a vow to the LORD, and swore an oath to the powerful ruler of Jacob.He said,“ I will not enter my own home, or get into my bed.I will not allow my eyes to sleep, or my eyelids to slumber,until I find a place for the LORD, a fine dwelling place for the powerful ruler of Jacob.”Look, we heard about it in Ephrathah, we found it in the territory of Jaar.

All the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron saying,“ Look, we are your very flesh and blood!
