¹Again, David [beloved] gathered together all [the] chosen [men] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] , thirty thousand.

²And David [beloved] arose, and went with all the people that [were] with him from Ba’alei [the lords] of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] , to bring up from there the ark of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] , whose name is called by the name of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] that dwells [between] the k’vurim (cherubim) .

³And they set the ark of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Avinadav [my father is noble] that [was] in Giv’ah [Hill] : and ‘Uzah [strength] and Achyo [brotherly or fraternal] , the sons of Avinadav [my father is noble] , drove the new cart.

⁴And they brought it out of the house of Avinadav [my father is noble] which [was] at Giv’ah [Hill] , accompanying the ark of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] : and Achyo [brotherly or fraternal] went before the ark.

⁵And David [beloved] and all the house of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] played before the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) on all manner of [instruments made of] fir wood, even on harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals.

⁶And when they came to Nakhon’s [prepared] threshing floor, ‘Uzah [strength] put forth [his hand] to the ark of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] , and took hold of it; for the oxen shook [it] .

⁷And the anger of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) was kindled against ‘Uzah [strength] ; and God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] struck him there for [his] error; and there he died by the ark of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] .

⁸And David [beloved] was displeased, because the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) had made a breach (breaking forth; a break; opening, inlet) upon ‘Uzah [strength] : and he called the name of the place Peretz-’Uzah [breach (breaking forth; a break; opening, inlet) of strength] to this day.

⁹And David [beloved] was afraid of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) that day, and said, How shall the ark of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) come to me?

¹⁰So David [beloved] would not remove the ark of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) unto him into the city of David [beloved] : but David [beloved] carried it aside into the house of ‘Oved-Edom [servant of Edom] the Gitti [belonging to Gat (winepress)] .

¹¹And the ark of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) continued in the house of ‘Oved-Edom [servant of Edom] the Gitti [belonging to Gat (winepress)] three months: and the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) ‘Oved-Edom [servant of Edom] , and all his household.

¹²And it was told king David [beloved] , saying, The Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) the house of ‘Oved-Edom [servant of Edom] , and all that [pertains] unto him, because of the ark of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] . So David [beloved] went and brought up the ark of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] from the house of ‘Oved-Edom [servant of Edom] into the city of David [beloved] with gladness.

¹³And it was [so] , that when they that bore the ark of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.

¹⁴And David [beloved] danced before the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) with all [his] might; and David [beloved] [was] girded with a linen ephod (vest) .

¹⁵So David [beloved] and all the house of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] brought up the ark of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.

¹⁶And as the ark of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) came into the city of David [beloved] , Mikhal [who is like God?] Sha’ul’s [desired] daughter looked through a window, and saw king David [beloved] leaping and dancing before the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) ; and she despised him in her heart.

¹⁷And they brought in the ark of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) , and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David [beloved] had pitched for it: and David [beloved] offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) .

¹⁸And as soon as David [beloved] had made an end of offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) the people in the name of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] .

¹⁹And he dealt among all the people, [even] among the whole multitude of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] , as well to the women as men, to everyone a cake of bread, and a good piece [of flesh] , and raisin cakes. So all the people departed everyone to his house.

²⁰Then David [beloved] returned to bless his household. And Mikhal [who is like God?] the daughter of Sha’ul [desired] came out to meet David [beloved] , and said, How glorious was the king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!

²¹And David [beloved] said unto Mikhal [who is like God?] , [It was] before the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) , which chose me before youi father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) , over Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] : therefore will I play before the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) .

²²And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in my own sight: and of the maidservants which youi have spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour.

²³Therefore Mikhal [who is like God?] the daughter of Sha’ul [desired] had no child unto the day of her death.
