2 Samuel 6
David Goes to Bring
the Ark |
1 Chr. 13.5-14 |
1 |
Again, David gathered together all the
chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
|
2 |
And David arose, and went with all the
people that were with him from Ba'ale of Judah, to bring up
from thence the ark of God, whose name is called by the name of the
LORD of hosts that dwelleth between the
cherubim. Ex. 25.22
|
3 |
And they set the ark of God upon a new
cart, and brought it out of the house of Abin'adab 1 Sam. 7.1, 2 that was in Gib'e-ah: and Uzzah and Ahi'o, the sons of Abin'adab,
drave the new cart.
|
4 |
And they brought it out of the house of
Abin'adab which was at Gib'e-ah, accompanying the ark of God:
and Ahi'o went before the ark.
|
5 |
And David and all the house of Israel
played before the LORD on all manner of instruments made of fir wood, even on harps, and on
psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on
cymbals.
|
6 |
And when they came to Nachon's
threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God,
and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it.
|
7 |
And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah, and God smote him
there for his error; and there he died by the ark of
God.
|
8 |
And David was displeased, because the
LORD had made a breach upon Uzzah: and he
called the name of the place Per'ez-uz'zah 3 to this
day.
|
9 |
And David was afraid of the LORD that day, and said, How shall the ark of the
LORD come to me?
|
10 |
So David would not remove the ark of the
LORD unto him into the city of David: but David
carried it aside into the house of O'bed-e'dom the
Gittite.
|
11 |
And the ark of the LORD continued in the house of O'bed-e'dom the Gittite
three months: and the LORD blessed O'bed-e'dom,
and all his household. 1 Chr. 26.4, 5
|
The Ark Brought to
Jerusalem |
1 Chr. 15.1--16.6 |
12 |
And it was told king David, saying, The
LORD hath blessed the house of O'bed-e'dom, and
all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God. So
David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of
O'bed-e'dom into the city of David with gladness.
|
13 |
And it was so, that when they that
bare the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he
sacrificed oxen and fatlings.
|
14 |
And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.
|
15 |
So David and all the house of Israel
brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting,
and with the sound of the trumpet.
|
16 |
And as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, Michal Saul's
daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and
dancing before the LORD; and she despised him
in her heart.
|
17 |
And they brought in the ark of the LORD, and set it in his place, in the midst of the
tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt
offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.
|
18 |
And as soon as David had made an end of
offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people
in the name of the LORD of hosts.
|
19 |
And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the
women as men, to every one a cake of bread, and a good piece of
flesh, and a flagon of wine. So all the people departed
every one to his house.
|
20 |
Then David returned to bless his
household. 1 Chr. 16.43 And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and
said, How glorious was the king of Israel today, who uncovered
himself today in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one
of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself!
|
21 |
And David said unto Michal, It was before the LORD, which chose me before thy
father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the
people of the LORD, over Israel: therefore will
I play before the LORD.
|
22 |
And I will yet be more vile than thus,
and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which
thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honor.
|
23 |
Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had
no child unto the day of her death.
