2 Samuel 6
6
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.
