1 Chronicles 13

The Ark
2Sa 6:1–11
1So David conferred with the captains of the thousands and of the hundreds and with every leader. 2#1Sa 31:1Then he said to all the assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you and to the Lord our God, let us send word to the rest of our brothers throughout all the land of Israel along with the priests and the Levites in their cities, that they might join us here. 3#1Sa 7:1–2Then let us bring the ark of the Lord our God back to us, for we did not seek it during the days of Saul.” 4Then all the assembly agreed to do it because the thing seemed right in the eyes of all the people.
5#1Sa 6:21–7:1; 2Sa 6:1So David assembled all Israel, from Shihor in Egypt as far as the entrance to Hamath, in order to bring the ark of God from Kiriath Jearim. 6#Jos 15:9; Ex 25:22And he went up with all Israel to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath Jearim, which belongs to Judah, to bring up the ark of God, the Lord who dwells between the cherubim, where His name is called.
7#Nu 4:15They transported the ark of God on a new cart from the house of Abinadab with Uzzah and Ahio driving the cart 8while David and all Israel played music before God with all their might, performing songs on lyres, harps, tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets.
9#2Sa 6:6When they had come as far as the threshing floor of Kidon, Uzzah stretched out his hand to take hold of the ark because the oxen had stumbled on the path. 10#1Ch 15:13; 15:15Then the anger of the Lord burned against Uzzah, and He struck him because he reached his hand out to touch the ark. Thus, Uzzah died there before God.
11Now David was angry because the Lord struck out against Uzzah, so he called that place Perez Uzzah, as it is to this day.
12David was afraid of God that day, saying, “How can I ever bring the ark of God to myself?” 13#1Ch 15:18; 26:4So David stopped moving the ark of God to himself in the City of David and diverted it to the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite, 14#1Ch 26:4–5and while the ark of God stayed in his house three months, the Lord blessed the house of Obed-Edom and all he had.
