  1 G2532 And G1011 David consulted G*   G3326 with G3588 the G758 rulers G2532 and G3588 the G5506 commanders of thousands, G2532 and G3588 the G1543 commanders of hundreds -- G3956 with every G2233 leader.

  2 G2532 And G2036 David said G*   G3956 to all G3588 the G1577 assembly G* of Israel, G1487 If G1909 it seems G1473 good to you, G18   G2532 and G3844 by G2962 the lord G2316 our God, G1473   G2137 that he should prosper the way, G649 then we should send G4314 to G3588   G80 our brethren G1473   G3588   G5275 being left G1722 in G3956 all G1093 the land G* of Israel, G2532 and G3326 [⁵with G1473 ⁶them G3588 ¹the G2409 ²priests G3588 ³the G* ⁴Levites] G1722 which are in G4172 the cities G2697 of their possession, G1473   G2532 that G4863 they shall be gathered together G4314 to G1473 us.

  3 G2532 And G1994 we should turn G3588 the G2787 ark G3588   G2316 of our God G1473   G4314 to G1473 us, G3754 for G3756 [³not G2212 ¹we sought G1473 ²it] G575 from G2250 the days G* of Saul.

  4 G2532 And G2036 [⁴said G3956 ¹all G3588 ²the G1577 ³assembly] G3588   G4160 to do G3779 so, G3754 for G2112.3 [³ was upright G3588 ¹the G3056 ²word] G1722 in G3788 the eyes G3956 of all G3588 the G2992 people.

  5 G2532 And G1826.1 David assembled G*   G3588   G3956 all G* Israel, G575 from G3725 the borders G* of Egypt G2532 and G2193 unto G1529 the entrance G* of Hamath, G3588   G1533 to carry in G3588 the G2787 ark G3588   G2316 of God G1537 from G4172 the city G* of Jearim.

  6 G2532 And G305 David ascended, G*   G2532 and G3956 all G* Israel G1519 into G* Kirjath-jearim, G3739 which G1510.2.3 is G3588   G* of Judah, G3588   G321 to lead up G1564 from there G3588 the G2787 ark G3588 of the G2316 lord God, G2962   G3588 of the one G2521 sitting G1909 upon G5502 the cherubim, G3739 of which G1941 [²is called upon G3588   G3686 ¹his name] G1473   G1563 there.

  7 G2532 And G2007 they placed G3588 the G2787 ark G3588   G2316 of God G1909 upon G261.1 [²wagon G2537 ¹a new], G1537 from out of G3624 the house G* of Abinadab. G2532 And G* Uzza G2532 and G3588   G80 his brethren G1473   G71 led G3588 the G261.1 wagon.

  8 G2532 And G* David G2532 and G3956 all G* Israel G3815 were playing G1726 before G3588   G2316 God G1722 with G3956 all G1411 their ability, G2532 and G1722 with G5603 songs, G2532 and G1722 with G2796.1 lutes, G2532 and G1722 with G3476.1 stringed instruments, G2532 and G1722 with G5178.2 tambourines, G2532 and G1722 with G2950 cymbals, G2532 and G1722 with G4536 trumpets.

  9 G2532 And G2064 they came G2193 unto G3588 the G257 threshing-floor G* of Chidon. G2532 And G1614 Uzza stretched out G*   G3588   G5495 his hand G1473   G3588   G2722 to hold down G3588 the G2787 ark, G3754 for G1578 [³turned G1473 ⁴it G3588 ¹the G3448 ²calf].

  10 G2532 And G2373 the lord was enraged G2962   G3709 in anger G1909 against G* Uzza, G2532 and G3960 he struck G1473 him G1563 there, G1223 on account of G3588 the G1614 stretching out G3588   G5495 of his hand G1473   G1909 upon G3588 the G2787 ark. G2532 And G599 he died G1563 there G561 before G3588   G2316 God.

  11 G2532 And G120 David was depressed, G*   G3754 that G1249.2 the lord cut G2962   G1249.1 a severance G1722 with G* Uzza. G2532 And G2564 he called G3588   G5117 that place -- G1565   G1249.1 Severance G* of Oza G2193 until G3588   G2250 this day. G3778  

  12 G2532 And G5399 David feared G*   G3588   G2316 God G1722 in G3588   G2250 that day, G1565   G3004 saying, G4459 How G1533 shall I carry in G4314 to G1683 myself G3588 the G2787 ark G3588   G2316 of God?

  13 G2532 And G3756 [²did not G654 ³return G* ¹David] G3588 the G2787 ark G4314 to G1438 himself G1519 into G3588 the G4172 city G* of David, G2532 but G1578 he turned it aside G1473   G1519 into G3624 the house G* of Obed G* Edom G3588 the G* Gittite.

  14 G2532 And G2523 [⁴stayed G3588 ¹the G2787 ²ark G3588   G2316 ³of God] G1722 in G3624 the household G* of Obed G* Edom G1722 in G3588   G3624 his house G1473   G3376 [²months G5140 ¹three]. G2532 And G2127 the lord blessed G2962   G3588 the G3624 house G* of Obed G* Edom, G2532 and G3956 all G3588   G1473 of his.
