2 And David said to all the men of Israel who had come together there, If it seems good to you and if it is the purpose of the Lord our God, let us send to all the rest of our brothers, everywhere in the land of Israel, and to the priests and the Levites in their towns and the country round them, and get them to come together here to us;
2 And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, If it seem good unto you, and that it be of the LORD 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:
2 David said to all the assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if it is from the Lord our God, let us send everywhere to our kinsmen who remain in all the land of Israel, also to the priests and Levites who are with them in their cities with pasture lands, that they may meet with us;
2 Then he said to the whole assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if this is from the Lord our God, let us spread out and send the message to the rest of our relatives in all the districts of Israel, including the priests and Levites in their cities with pasturelands,(A) that they should gather together with us.
2 Then he addressed the entire community of Israel, "If it seems good to you and something from the Lord our God, let's spread word to all of our relatives who remain throughout the entire land of Israel, including the priests and descendants of Levi in the cities and pasture lands, so they can gather together with us.
3 And let us get back for ourselves the ark of our God: for in the days of Saul we did not go to it for directions.
3 And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we inquired not at it in the days of Saul.
3 Then let's bring the Ark of God back to us, because we didn't consult it during Saul's reign."
4 And all the people said they would do so, for it seemed right to them.
4 And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
4 Then all the assembly said that they would do so, for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.

6 And David went up, with all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath-jearim in Judah, to get up from there the ark of God, over which the holy Name is named, the name of the Lord whose place is between the winged ones.
6 And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kirjathjearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the LORD, that dwelleth between the cherubims, whose name is called on it.

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 to the grain-floor of Chidon, Uzza put out his hand to keep the ark in its place, for the oxen were slipping.
9 And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.
9 When they came to (I)the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzza put out his hand to hold the ark, because the oxen nearly upset it.
9 When they came to Chidon’s threshing floor,(K) Uzzah reached out to hold the ark because the oxen had stumbled.
9 As they approached Chidon's threshing floor, Uzzah put out his hand to steady the ark, because the oxen had stumbled.
10 And the wrath of the Lord, burning against Uzza, sent destruction on him because he had put his hand on the ark, and death came to him there before God.
10 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God.
10 The anger of the Lord burned against Uzza, so He struck him down (J)because he put out his hand to the ark; (K)and he died there before God.
10 Then the Lord’s anger burned against Uzzah, and He struck him dead because he had reached out to the ark.(L) So he died there in the presence of God.(M)
10 Just then, the anger of the LORD blazed against Uzzah, and he struck him down because he had put his hand on the ark, and he died right there in the presence of God.
11 And David was angry because of the Lord's outburst of wrath against Uzza, and he gave that place the name Perez-uzza, to this day.
11 And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perezuzza to this day.
11 Then David became angry because (b)of the Lord’s outburst against Uzza; and he called that place (c)Perez-uzza to this day.
11 David was angry because of the Lord’s outburst against Uzzah, so he named that place Outburst Against Uzzah,(c) as it is still named today.
11 David flew into a rage because the LORD had killed Uzzah. As a result, that place was called Perez-uzzah to this day.
12 And so great was David's fear of God that day, that he said, How may I let the ark of God come to me?
12 And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God home to me?
12 David was afraid of God that day, saying, “How can I bring the ark of God home to me?”
12 David feared God that day and said, “How can I ever bring the ark of God to me?”
12 But David feared God that day, and asked "How am I to bring the Ark of God to me?"
13 So David did not let the ark come back to him to the town of David, but had it turned away and put into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
13 So David brought not the ark home to himself to the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gittite.
13 So David did not take the ark with him to the city of David, but took it aside (L)to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
13 So David did not move the ark of God home(d) to the city of David; instead, he took it to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.(N)
13 As a result, David would not take the ark into the City of David for it to be in his care. Instead, he took it to the home of Obed-edom the Gittite.

14 And the ark of God remained with the family of Obededom in his house three months. And the LORD blessed the house of Obededom, and all that he had.
