And David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, and with every leader.

And David took counsel with the officers of the thousands and the hundreds, by all the leaders.

And David said to all the congregation of Yisra᾽el, If it seem good to you, and that it be of the Lord our God, let us send abroad to our brethren everywhere, who are left in all the land of Yisra᾽el, and with them also to the priests and Levites who are in their cities that have pasture lands that they may gather themselves to us:

And David said to the entire congregation of Israel: If it is acceptable to you, and it has gone forth from the L-rd our G-d, let us send to our brothers remaining in all the lands of Israel, and with them, the Cohanim and the Levites in the cities of their open lands, and let them gather themselves unto us.

and let us bring back the ark of our God to us: for we did not inquire at it in the days of Sha᾽ul.

And let us return the ark of our G-d to us, for we did not solicit Him in the days of Saul.

And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the thing seemed right in the eyes of all the people.

And the entire congregation said to do so, for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.

So David gathered all Yisra᾽el together, from Shiĥor of Miżrayim as far as the entrance of Ḥamat, to bring the ark of God from Qiryat-ye῾arim.

And David gathered all of Israel, from Shichor of Egypt until Levo-chamath, to bring the ark of G-d from Kiryath-yearim.

And David went up, and all Yisra᾽el to Ba῾ala, that is, to Qiryat-ye῾arim, which belonged to Yehuda, to bring up from there the ark of God the Lord, who dwells above the keruvim, by whose name it is called.

And David went up, and all of Israel, to Ba'alah, to Kiryath-yearim of Judah, to bring up from there the ark of G-d, the L-rd, who dwells upon the cherubs, which was called by the Name.

And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house of Avinadav: and ῾Uzza and Aĥyo drove the cart.

And they placed the ark of G-d on a new wagon (and they took it) from the house of Avinadav, Uzza and Achyo [(the sons of Avinadav)], leading the wagon.

And David and all Yisra᾽el played before God with all their might, and with singing, and with lyres, and with lutes, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.

And David and all of Israel disported themselves before G-d with all (their) might, and with song and with harps and with psalteries and with timbrels, and with cymbals and with trumpets.

And when they came to the threshing floor of Kidon, ῾Uzza put out his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen shook it.

And they came to Goren-Kiddon, and Uzza sent forth his hand to take hold of the ark, for the oxen had caused (it) to sway.

And the anger of the Lord burned against ῾Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God.

And the L-rd was wroth with Uzza, and He smote him for having sent forth his hand to the ark [viz. II Samuel 6:7], and he died there before G-d.

And David was vexed, because the Lord had broken out upon ῾Uzza: so that place is called Pereż-῾uzza to this day.

And David grieved over the L-rd's having made a breach (peretz) in Uzza. And he called that place Peretz-Uzza until this day.

And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God home to me?

And David feared G-d on that day, saying: How will I bring to me the ark of G-d?

So David did not bring the ark to himself to the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of ῾Oved-edom the Gittite.

And David did not turn the ark to himself to the city of David, and he diverted it to the house of Oved-edom, the Gittite [(a Levite gatekeeper)].

And the ark of God remained with the family of ῾Oved-edom in his house for three months. And the Lord blessed the house of ῾Oved-edom and all that he had.

And the ark of G-d stayed in the house of Oved-edom the Gittite for three months. And the L-rd blessed the house of Oved-edom and all that was his.
