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

²And David [beloved] said unto all the congregation of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] , If [it seem] good unto you, and [that it be] of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] , let us send abroad unto our brethren every where, [that are] left in all the land of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] , and with them [also] to the priests and Levi’im (Levites) [Joined to] [which are] in their cities [and] suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto us:

³And let us bring again the ark of our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] to us: for we enquired not at it in the days of Sha’ul [desired] .

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

⁵So David [beloved] gathered all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] together, from Shihor of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place] even unto the entering of Hamat [fortress] , to bring the ark of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] from Kiryat-Ye’arim [City of Forests] .

⁶And David [beloved] went up, and all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] , to Ba’alah [mistress] , [that is] , to Kiryat-Ye’arim [City of Forests] , which [belonged] to Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] , to bring up there the ark of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) , that dwells [between] the k’vurim (cherubim) , whose name is called [on it] .

⁷And they carried the ark of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] in a new cart out of the house of Avinadav [my father is noble] : and ‘Uza [strength] and Achyo [brotherly or fraternal] drove the cart.

⁸And David [beloved] and all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] played before God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] with all [their] might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.

⁹And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Kidon [javelin] , ‘Uza [strength] put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.

¹⁰And the anger of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) was kindled against ‘Uza [strength] , and he struck him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] .

¹¹And David [beloved] was displeased, because the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) had made a breach (breaking forth; a break; opening, inlet) upon ‘Uza [strength] : wherefore that place is called Peretz-’Uza [breach (breaking forth; a break; opening, inlet) of Uzza] to this day.

¹²And David [beloved] was afraid of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] [home] to me?

¹³So David [beloved] brought not the ark [home] to himself to the city of David [beloved] , but carried it aside into the house of ‘Oved-Edom [servant of Edom] the Gitti [belonging to Gat (winepress)] .

¹⁴And the ark of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] remained with the family of ‘Oved-Edom [servant of Edom] in his house three months. And the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) the house of ‘Oved-Edom [servant of Edom] , and all that he had.
