2 Samuel 6

1Again, David gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.

וַיֹּסֶף עֹוד דָּוִד אֶת־כָּל־בָּחוּר בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל שְׁלֹשִׁים אָלֶף׃ (2251)

2And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him from Baale 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 cherubims.

וַיָּקָם ׀ וַיֵּלֶךְ דָּוִד וְכָל־הָעָם אֲשֶׁר אִתֹּו מִבַּעֲלֵי יְהוּדָה לְהַעֲלֹות מִשָּׁם אֵת אֲרֹון הָאֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר־נִקְרָא שֵׁם שֵׁם יְהוָה צְבָאֹות יֹשֵׁב הַכְּרֻבִים עָלָיו׃ (5929)

3And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart.

וַיַּרְכִּבוּ אֶת־אֲרֹון הָאֱלֹהִים אֶל־עֲגָלָה חֲדָשָׁה וַיִּשָּׂאֻהוּ מִבֵּית אֲבִינָדָב אֲשֶׁר בַּגִּבְעָה וְעֻזָּא וְאַחְיֹו בְּנֵי אֲבִינָדָב נֹהֲגִים אֶת־הָעֲגָלָה חֲדָשָׁה׃ (4066)

4And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which was at Gibeah, accompanying the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark.

וַיִּשָּׂאֻהוּ מִבֵּית אֲבִינָדָב אֲשֶׁר בַּגִּבְעָה עִם אֲרֹון הָאֱלֹהִים וְאַחְיֹו הֹלֵךְ לִפְנֵי הָאָרֹון׃ (2408)

5And 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.

וְדָוִד ׀ וְכָל־בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל מְשַׂחֲקִים לִפְנֵי יְהוָה בְּכֹל עֲצֵי בְרֹושִׁים וּבְכִנֹּרֹות וּבִנְבָלִים וּבְתֻפִּים וּבִמְנַעַנְעִים וּבְצֶלְצֶלִים׃ (4501)

6And 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.

וַיָּבֹאוּ עַד־גֹּרֶן נָכֹון וַיִּשְׁלַח עֻזָּא אֶל־אֲרֹון הָאֱלֹהִים וַיֹּאחֶז בֹּו כִּי שָׁמְטוּ הַבָּקָר׃ (2021)

7And 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.

וַיִּחַר־אַף יְהוָה בְּעֻזָּה וַיַּכֵּהוּ שָׁם הָאֱלֹהִים עַל־הַשַּׁל וַיָּמָת שָׁם עִם אֲרֹון הָאֱלֹהִים׃ (2582)

8And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perezuzzah to this day.

וַיִּחַר לְדָוִד עַל אֲשֶׁר פָּרַץ יְהוָה פֶּרֶץ בְּעֻזָּה וַיִּקְרָא לַמָּקֹום הַהוּא פֶּרֶץ עֻזָּה עַד הַיֹּום הַזֶּה׃ (2873)

9And David was afraid of the LORD that day, and said, How shall the ark of the LORD come to me?

וַיִּרָא דָוִד אֶת־יְהוָה בַּיֹּום הַהוּא וַיֹּאמֶר אֵיךְ יָבֹוא אֵלַי אֲרֹון יְהוָה׃ (1364)

10So 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 Obededom the Gittite.

וְלֹא־אָבָה דָוִד לְהָסִיר אֵלָיו אֶת־אֲרֹון יְהוָה עַל־עִיר דָּוִד וַיַּטֵּהוּ דָוִד בֵּית עֹבֵד־אֱדֹום הַגִּתִּי׃ (2496)

11And the ark of the LORD continued in the house of Obededom the Gittite three months: and the LORD blessed Obededom, and all his household.

וַיֵּשֶׁב אֲרֹון יְהוָה בֵּית עֹבֵד אֱדֹם הַגִּתִּי שְׁלֹשָׁה חֳדָשִׁים וַיְבָרֶךְ יְהוָה אֶת־עֹבֵד אֱדֹם וְאֶת־כָּל־בֵּיתֹו׃ (4210)

12And it was told king David, saying, The LORD hath blessed the house of Obededom, 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 Obededom into the city of David with gladness.

וַיֻּגַּד לַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִד לֵאמֹר בֵּרַךְ יְהוָה אֶת־בֵּית עֹבֵד אֱדֹם וְאֶת־כָּל־אֲשֶׁר־לֹו בַּעֲבוּר אֲרֹון הָאֱלֹהִים וַיֵּלֶךְ דָּוִד וַיַּעַל אֶת־אֲרֹון הָאֱלֹהִים מִבֵּית עֹבֵד אֱדֹם עִיר דָּוִד בְּשִׂמְחָה׃ (5399)

13And it was so, that when they that bare the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.

וַיְהִי כִּי צָעֲדוּ נֹשְׂאֵי אֲרֹון־יְהוָה שִׁשָּׁה צְעָדִים וַיִּזְבַּח שֹׁור וּמְרִיא׃ (2490)

14And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.

וְדָוִד מְכַרְכֵּר בְּכָל־עֹז לִפְנֵי יְהוָה וְדָוִד חָגוּר אֵפֹוד בָּד׃ (1159)

15So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.

וְדָוִד וְכָל־בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל מַעֲלִים אֶת־אֲרֹון יְהוָה בִּתְרוּעָה וּבְקֹול שֹׁופָר׃ (3316)

16And 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.

וְהָיָה אֲרֹון יְהוָה בָּא עִיר דָּוִד וּמִיכַל בַּת־שָׁאוּל נִשְׁקְפָה ׀ בְּעַד הַחַלֹּון וַתֵּרֶא אֶת־הַמֶּלֶךְ דָּוִד מְפַזֵּז וּמְכַרְכֵּר לִפְנֵי יְהוָה וַתִּבֶז לֹו בְּלִבָּהּ׃ (4584)

17And 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.

וַיָּבִאוּ אֶת־אֲרֹון יְהוָה וַיַּצִּגוּ אֹתֹו בִּמְקֹומֹו בְּתֹוךְ הָאֹהֶל אֲשֶׁר נָטָה־לֹו דָּוִד וַיַּעַל דָּוִד עֹלֹות לִפְנֵי יְהוָה וּשְׁלָמִים׃ (3767)

18And 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.

וַיְכַל דָּוִד מֵהַעֲלֹות הָעֹולָה וְהַשְּׁלָמִים וַיְבָרֶךְ אֶת־הָעָם בְּשֵׁם יְהוָה צְבָאֹות׃ (2799)

19And 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.

וַיְחַלֵּק לְכָל־הָעָם לְכָל־הֲמֹון יִשְׂרָאֵל לְמֵאִישׁ וְעַד־אִשָּׁה לְאִישׁ חַלַּת לֶחֶם אַחַת וְאֶשְׁפָּר אֶחָד וַאֲשִׁישָׁה אֶחָת וַיֵּלֶךְ כָּל־הָעָם אִישׁ לְבֵיתֹו׃ (5725)

20Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself!

וַיָּשָׁב דָּוִד לְבָרֵךְ אֶת־בֵּיתֹו וַתֵּצֵא מִיכַל בַּת־שָׁאוּל לִקְרַאת דָּוִד וַתֹּאמֶר מַה־נִּכְבַּד הַיֹּום מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר נִגְלָה הַיֹּום לְעֵינֵי אַמְהֹות עֲבָדָיו כְּהִגָּלֹות נִגְלֹות אַחַד הָרֵקִים׃ (7629)

21And 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.

וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִד אֶל־מִיכַל לִפְנֵי יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר בָּחַר־בִּי מֵאָבִיךְ וּמִכָּל־בֵּיתֹו לְצַוֹּת אֹתִי נָגִיד עַל־עַם יְהוָה עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל וְשִׂחַקְתִּי לִפְנֵי יְהוָה׃ (4809)

22And 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 honour.

וּנְקַלֹּתִי עֹוד מִזֹּאת וְהָיִיתִי שָׁפָל בְּעֵינָי וְעִם־הָאֲמָהֹות אֲשֶׁר אָמַרְתְּ עִמָּם אִכָּבֵדָה׃ (4014)

23Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death.

וּלְמִיכַל בַּת־שָׁאוּל לֹא־הָיָה לָהּ יָלֶד עַד יֹום מֹותָהּ׃ (1586)
