a perfect heart to Hebron, to make David king over all Israel: and all the rest also of Israel
were
of
one heart to make David king.
39
And there they were with David three days, eating and drinking:
for their brethren had prepared for them.
40
Moreover they that were nigh them,
even
unto Issachar
and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought bread on asses, and on camels, and on mules, and on oxen,
and
meat, meal, cakes of figs, and bunches of raisins, and wine, and oil, and oxen, and sheep abundantly:
for
there was
joy in Israel.
CHAPTER CHRONICLES 13
And David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds,
and
with every leader.
2
And
David said unto all the congregation of Israel, If
it seem
good unto you, and
that it be
of the L
ORD
our God, let us send abroad unto our brethren every where,
that are
left in all the land of Israel,
and with them
also
to the priests and Levites
which are
in their cities
and
suburbs, that they may
gather themselves unto us:
3
And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we enquired not
at it in the days of Saul.
4
And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the thing was
right in the eyes of all the people.
5
So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt
even unto the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjath-jearim.
6
And David went
up, and all Israel, to Baalah,
that is,
to Kirjath- jearim, which
belonged
to Judah, to bring up thence
the ark of God the L
ORD
, that dwelleth
between
the cherubims, whose name is called
on it.
7
And
they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave
the cart.
8
And David and all Israel played before God with all
their
might, and with singing, and
with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.
9
And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the
ark; for the oxen stumbled.
10
And the anger of the L
ORD
was kindled against Uzza, and he smote
him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God.
11
And David was displeased,
because the L
ORD
had made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perez-uzza to this
day.
12
And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God
home
to
me?
13
So David brought not the ark
home
to himself to the city of David, but carried it aside into
the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
14
And the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom
in his house three months. And the L
ORD
blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that he had.
CHAPTER CHRONICLES 14
Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and
carpenters, to build him an house.
2
And David perceived that the L
ORD
had confirmed him king
over Israel, for his kingdom was lifted up on high, because of his people Israel.
