1 Chronicles 13

1And David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, and with every leader.

וַיִּוָּעַץ דָּוִיד עִם־שָׂרֵי הָאֲלָפִים וְהַמֵּאֹות לְכָל־נָגִיד׃ (1597)

2And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, If it seem good unto you, and that it be of the LORD our God, let us send abroad unto our brethren every where, that are left in all the land of Israel, and with them also to the priests and Levites which are in their cities and suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto us:

וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִיד לְכֹל ׀ קְהַל יִשְׂרָאֵל אִם־עֲלֵיכֶם טֹוב וּמִן־יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ נִפְרְצָה נִשְׁלְחָה עַל־אַחֵינוּ הַנִּשְׁאָרִים בְּכֹל אַרְצֹות יִשְׂרָאֵל וְעִמָּהֶם הַכֹּהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם בְּעָרֵי מִגְרְשֵׁיהֶם וְיִקָּבְצוּ אֵלֵינוּ׃ (5957)

3And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we enquired not at it in the days of Saul.

וְנָסֵבָּה אֶת־אֲרֹון אֱלֹהֵינוּ אֵלֵינוּ כִּי־לֹא דְרַשְׁנֻהוּ בִּימֵי שָׁאוּל׃ (2005)

4And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.

וַיֹּאמְרוּ כָל־הַקָּהָל לַעֲשֹׂות כֵּן כִּי־יָשַׁר הַדָּבָר בְּעֵינֵי כָל־הָעָם׃ (2387)

5So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjathjearim.

וַיַּקְהֵל דָּוִיד אֶת־כָּל־יִשְׂרָאֵל מִן־שִׁיחֹור מִצְרַיִם וְעַד־לְבֹוא חֲמָת לְהָבִיא אֶת־אֲרֹון הָאֱלֹהִים מִקִּרְיַת יְעָרִים׃ (4605)

6And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kirjathjearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the LORD, that dwelleth between the cherubims, whose name is called on it.

וַיַּעַל דָּוִיד וְכָל־יִשְׂרָאֵל בַּעֲלָתָה אֶל־קִרְיַת יְעָרִים אֲשֶׁר לִיהוּדָה לְהַעֲלֹות מִשָּׁם אֵת אֲרֹון הָאֱלֹהִים ׀ יְהוָה יֹושֵׁב הַכְּרוּבִים אֲשֶׁר־נִקְרָא שֵׁם׃ (6365)

7And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave the cart.

וַיַּרְכִּיבוּ אֶת־אֲרֹון הָאֱלֹהִים עַל־עֲגָלָה חֲדָשָׁה מִבֵּית אֲבִינָדָב וְעֻזָּא וְאַחְיֹו נֹהֲגִים בָּעֲגָלָה׃ (2382)

8And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.

וְדָוִיד וְכָל־יִשְׂרָאֵל מְשַׂחֲקִים לִפְנֵי הָאֱלֹהִים בְּכָל־עֹז וּבְשִׁירִים וּבְכִנֹּרֹות וּבִנְבָלִים וּבְתֻפִּים וּבִמְצִלְתַּיִם וּבַחֲצֹצְרֹות׃ (4865)

9And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.

וַיָּבֹאוּ עַד־גֹּרֶן כִּידֹן וַיִּשְׁלַח עֻזָּא אֶת־יָדֹו לֶאֱחֹז אֶת־הָאָרֹון כִּי שָׁמְטוּ הַבָּקָר׃ (2690)

10And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God.

וַיִּחַר־אַף יְהוָה בְּעֻזָּא וַיַּכֵּהוּ עַל אֲשֶׁר־שָׁלַח יָדֹו עַל־הָאָרֹון וַיָּמָת שָׁם לִפְנֵי אֱלֹהִים׃ (2831)

11And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perezuzza to this day.

וַיִּחַר לְדָוִיד כִּי־פָרַץ יְהוָה פֶּרֶץ בְּעֻזָּא וַיִּקְרָא לַמָּקֹום הַהוּא פֶּרֶץ עֻזָּא עַד הַיֹּום הַזֶּה׃ (2304)

12And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God home to me?

וַיִּירָא דָוִיד אֶת־הָאֱלֹהִים בַּיֹּום הַהוּא לֵאמֹר הֵיךְ אָבִיא אֵלַי אֵת אֲרֹון הָאֱלֹהִים׃ (1928)

13So David brought not the ark home to himself to the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gittite.

וְלֹא־הֵסִיר דָּוִיד אֶת־הָאָרֹון אֵלָיו אֶל־עִיר דָּוִיד וַיַּטֵּהוּ אֶל־בֵּית עֹבֵד־אֱדֹם הַגִּתִּי׃ (2399)

14And the ark of God remained with the family of Obededom in his house three months. And the LORD blessed the house of Obededom, and all that he had.

וַיֵּשֶׁב אֲרֹון הָאֱלֹהִים עִם־בֵּית עֹבֵד אֱדֹם בְּבֵיתֹו שְׁלֹשָׁה חֳדָשִׁים וַיְבָרֶךְ יְהוָה אֶת־בֵּית עֹבֵד־אֱדֹם וְאֶת־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר־לֹו׃ (4918)
