Then David consulted with the officers of the thousands and the hundreds, with every chief officer. David said to the entire assembly of Israel, “If you approve, and if the ETERNAL our God concurs,aconcurs Meaning of Heb. uncertain. let us send far and wide to our remaining kindred throughout the territories of Israel, including the priests and Levites in the towns where they have pasturelands, that they should gather together to us in order to transfer the Ark of our God to us, for throughout the days of Saul we paid no regard to it.” The entire assembly agreed to do so, for the proposal pleased all the people. David then assembled all Israel from Shihor of Egypt to Lebo-hamath, in order to bring the Ark of God from Kiriath-jearim. bCf. 2 Sam. 6.2–11. David and all Israel went up to Baalah, Kiriath-jearim of Judah, to bring up from there the Ark of God, the ETERNAL, Enthroned on the Cherubim, to which the Name was attached. They transported the Ark of God on a new cart from the house of Abinadab; Uzza and Ahio guided the cart, and David and all Israel danced before God with all their might—with songs, lyres, harps, hand-drums, cymbals, and trumpets. But when they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzza put out his hand to hold the Ark of God because the oxen had stumbled.cstumbled Meaning of Heb. uncertain. GOD was incensed at Uzza, and struck him down, because he laid a hand on the Ark; and so he died there before God. David was distressed because GOD had burst outdhad burst out Heb. paraṣ…pereṣ. against Uzza; and that place was named Perez-uzza, as it is still called. David was afraid of God that day; he said, “How can I bring the Ark of God here?” So David did not remove the Ark to his place in the City of David; instead, he diverted it to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite. The Ark of God remained in the house of Obed-edom, in its own abode, three months, and GOD blessed the house of Obed-edom and all he had.
