1Und David sammelte abermals die ganze junge Mannschaft in Israel, dreißigtausend Mann, (1Chr 13,1; 1Chr 15,1; 1Chr 16,1)2und machte sich auf und zog mit dem ganzen Volk, das bei ihm war, nach Baala in Juda, um die Lade Gottes von dort heraufzuholen; diese ist genannt nach dem Namen des HERRN Zebaoth, der über den Cherubim thront. (2Mo 25,22; Jos 15,9; 1Sam 4,4)3Und sie setzten die Lade Gottes auf einen neuen Wagen und holten sie aus dem Hause Abinadabs, der auf dem Hügel wohnte. Usa aber und Achjo, die Söhne Abinadabs, führten den neuen Wagen (1Sam 7,1)4mit der Lade Gottes, und Achjo ging vor der Lade her.5Und David und ganz Israel tanzten vor dem HERRN her mit aller Macht im Reigen, mit Liedern, mit Harfen und Psaltern und Pauken und Schellen und Zimbeln.6Und als sie zur Tenne Nachons kamen, griff Usa zu und hielt die Lade Gottes fest, denn die Rinder glitten aus.7Da entbrannte des HERRN Zorn über Usa, und Gott schlug ihn dort, weil er seine Hand nach der Lade ausgestreckt hatte, sodass er dort starb bei der Lade Gottes. (4Mo 4,15; 1Sam 6,19)8Da ergrimmte David, dass der HERR den Usa so wegriss, und man nannte die Stätte »Perez-Usa«[1] bis auf diesen Tag. (2Sam 5,20)9Und David fürchtete sich vor dem HERRN an diesem Tage und sprach: Wie soll die Lade des HERRN zu mir kommen?10Und David wollte die Lade des HERRN nicht zu sich bringen lassen in die Stadt Davids, sondern ließ sie bringen ins Haus Obed-Edoms, des Gatiters.11So blieb die Lade des HERRN drei Monate im Hause Obed-Edoms, des Gatiters, und der HERR segnete ihn und sein ganzes Haus.12Und es wurde dem König David angesagt, dass der HERR das Haus Obed-Edoms segnete und alles, was er hatte, um der Lade Gottes willen. Da ging er hin und holte die Lade Gottes aus dem Hause Obed-Edoms herauf in die Stadt Davids mit Freuden.13Und als die Träger mit der Lade des HERRN sechs Schritte gegangen waren, opferte man einen Stier und ein fettes Kalb. (1Kön 8,5)14Und David tanzte mit aller Macht vor dem HERRN her und war umgürtet mit einem leinenen Priesterschurz. (2Mo 28,6; 1Sam 2,18; 1Sam 10,10)15Und David mit dem ganzen Hause Israel führte die Lade des HERRN herauf mit Jauchzen und Posaunenschall.16Und als die Lade des HERRN in die Stadt Davids kam, sah Michal, die Tochter Sauls, durchs Fenster und sah den König David springen und tanzen vor dem HERRN und verachtete ihn in ihrem Herzen.17Als sie die Lade des HERRN hineinbrachten, stellten sie sie an ihren Ort mitten in dem Zelt, das David für sie aufgeschlagen hatte. Und David opferte Brandopfer und Dankopfer vor dem HERRN. (2Sam 7,2)18Und als David die Brandopfer und Dankopfer beendet hatte, segnete er das Volk in dem Namen des HERRN Zebaoth, (1Kön 8,14; 1Kön 8,55)19und er ließ austeilen allem Volk, der ganzen Menge Israels, Mann und Frau, einem jeden einen Brotkuchen, einen Dattelkuchen und einen Rosinenkuchen. Danach kehrte alles Volk heim, ein jeglicher in sein Haus.20Als aber David heimkam, sein Haus zu segnen, ging Michal, die Tochter Sauls, heraus ihm entgegen und sprach: Wie herrlich ist heute der König von Israel gewesen, als er sich vor den Mägden seiner Knechte entblößt hat, wie sich die losen Leute entblößen!21David aber sprach zu Michal: Ich will vor dem HERRN tanzen, der mich erwählt hat vor deinem Vater und vor seinem ganzen Hause, um mich zum Fürsten zu bestellen über das Volk des HERRN, über Israel, (2Sam 5,2; 2Sam 7,8)22und ich will noch geringer werden als jetzt und will niedrig sein in meinen Augen; aber bei den Mägden, von denen du geredet hast, will ich zu Ehren kommen.23Aber Michal, Sauls Tochter, hatte kein Kind bis an den Tag ihres Todes.
1David again gathered all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand. (1Chr 13,6)2And David arose and went with all the people who were with him from Baale-judah to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the name of the Lord of hosts who sits enthroned on the cherubim. (2Mo 25,22; Jos 15,9; Jos 15,60; 1Sam 4,4; 2Chr 1,4; Ps 80,1)3And they carried the ark of God on a new cart and brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill. And Uzzah and Ahio,[1] the sons of Abinadab, were driving the new cart, (1Sam 6,7; 1Sam 7,1)4with the ark of God,[2] and Ahio went before the ark.
Uzzah and the Ark
5And David and all the house of Israel were celebrating before the Lord, with songs[3] and lyres and harps and tambourines and castanets and cymbals. (1Chr 13,8; Ps 150,3)6And when they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah put out his hand to the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen stumbled. (4Mo 4,15; 1Chr 13,9; 1Chr 15,2)7And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah, and God struck him down there because of his error, and he died there beside the ark of God. (1Sam 6,19)8And David was angry because the Lord had broken out against Uzzah. And that place is called Perez-uzzah[4] to this day.9And David was afraid of the Lord that day, and he said, “How can the ark of the Lord come to me?”10So David was not willing to take the ark of the Lord into the city of David. But David took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite. (1Chr 15,25)11And the ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months, and the Lord blessed Obed-edom and all his household. (1Chr 26,5)12And it was told King David, “The Lord has blessed the household of Obed-edom and all that belongs to him, because of the ark of God.” So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom to the city of David with rejoicing. (1Kön 8,1; 1Chr 15,25)13And when those who bore the ark of the Lord had gone six steps, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened animal. (4Mo 4,15; 4Mo 7,9; Jos 3,3; 1Kön 8,5; 1Chr 15,2; 1Chr 15,15)14And David danced before the Lord with all his might. And David was wearing a linen ephod. (2Mo 15,20; 1Sam 2,18; Ps 30,11; Ps 150,4)15So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting and with the sound of the horn.
David and Michal
16As the ark of the Lord came into the city of David, Michal the daughter of Saul looked out of the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, and she despised him in her heart.17And they brought in the ark of the Lord and set it in its place, inside the tent that David had pitched for it. And David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord. (1Kön 8,5; 1Kön 8,62; 1Chr 15,1; 2Chr 1,4; Ps 132,8)18And when David had finished offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts (1Kön 8,14; 1Kön 8,55)19and distributed among all the people, the whole multitude of Israel, both men and women, a cake of bread, a portion of meat,[5] and a cake of raisins to each one. Then all the people departed, each to his house. (1Chr 16,43)20And David returned to bless his household. But Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David and said, “How the king of Israel honored himself today, uncovering himself today before the eyes of his servants’ female servants, as one of the vulgar fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!” (Ri 9,4; 1Sam 19,24; 2Sam 6,14; 2Sam 6,16)21And David said to Michal, “It was before the Lord, who chose me above your father and above all his house, to appoint me as prince[6] over Israel, the people of the Lord—and I will celebrate before the Lord. (1Sam 13,14; 1Sam 15,28)22I will make myself yet more contemptible than this, and I will be abased in your[7] eyes. But by the female servants of whom you have spoken, by them I shall be held in honor.”23And Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.

King James Version
1Again, David gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.2And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him from Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, whose name is called by the name of the LORD of hosts that dwelleth between the cherubims.3And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart.4And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which was at Gibeah, accompanying the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark.5And David and all the house of Israel played before the LORD on all manner of instruments made of fir wood, even on harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals.6And when they came to Nachon' threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it .7And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.8And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perezuzzah to this day.9And David was afraid of the LORD that day, and said, How shall the ark of the LORD come to me?10So David would not remove the ark of the LORD unto him into the city of David: but David carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gittite.11And the ark of the LORD continued in the house of Obededom the Gittite three months: and the LORD blessed Obededom, and all his household.12And it was told king David, saying, The LORD hath blessed the house of Obededom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obededom into the city of David with gladness.13And it was so , that when they that bare the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.14And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.15So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.16And as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, Michal Saul' daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.17And they brought in the ark of the LORD, and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.18And as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts.19And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh , and a flagon of wine . So all the people departed every one to his house.20Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself!21And David said unto Michal, It was before the LORD, which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the LORD, over Israel: therefore will I play before the LORD.22And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour.23Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death.
1Again David brought together the best soldiers in Israel. The total number was 30,000.2He and all his men went to Baalah in Judah. They wanted to bring the ark of God up to Jerusalem from there. The ark is named after the LORD. He is the LORD who rules over all. He sits on his throne between the cherubim that are on the ark.3The ark of God was placed on a new cart. Then it was brought from Abinadab’s house, which was on a hill. Uzzah and Ahio were guiding the cart. They were the sons of Abinadab.4The ark of God was on the cart. Ahio was walking in front of it.5David was celebrating with all his might in front of the LORD. So was the whole community of Israel. All of them were playing castanets, harps, lyres, tambourines, rattles and cymbals.6They came to the threshing-floor of Nakon. The oxen nearly fell there. So Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark of God.7Then the LORD was very angry with Uzzah. That’s because what Uzzah did showed that he didn’t have any respect for the LORD. So God struck him down. He died there beside the ark of God.8David was angry because the LORD’s great anger had broken out against Uzzah. That’s why the place is still called Perez Uzzah to this day.9David was afraid of the LORD that day. He asked, ‘How can the ark of the LORD ever be brought to me?’10He didn’t want to take the ark of the LORD to be with him in the City of David. Instead, he took it to the house of Obed-Edom. Obed-Edom was from Gath.11The ark of the LORD remained in Obed-Edom’s house for three months. And the LORD blessed him and his whole family.12King David was told, ‘The LORD has blessed the family of Obed-Edom. He has also blessed everything that belongs to him. That’s because the ark of God is in Obed-Edom’s house.’ So David went down there to bring up the ark. With great joy he brought it up from the house of Obed-Edom. He took it to the City of David.13Those carrying the ark of the LORD took six steps forward. Then David sacrificed a bull and a fat calf.14David was wearing a sacred linen apron. He danced in front of the LORD with all his might.15He did it while he was bringing up the ark of the LORD. The whole community of Israel helped him bring it up. They shouted. They blew trumpets.16The ark of the LORD was brought into the City of David. Saul’s daughter Michal was watching from a window. She saw King David leaping and dancing in front of the LORD. That made her hate him in her heart.17The ark of the LORD was brought into Jerusalem. It was put in its place in the tent David had set up for it. David sacrificed burnt offerings and friendship offerings to the LORD.18After he finished sacrificing those offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD who rules over all.19He gave to each Israelite man and woman a loaf of bread. He also gave each one a date cake and a raisin cake. Then all the people went home.20David returned home to bless his family. Saul’s daughter Michal came out to meet him. She said, ‘You are the king of Israel. You have really brought honour to yourself today, haven’t you? You have gone around half-naked right in front of the female slaves of your officials. You acted like a fool!’21David said to Michal, ‘I did it to honour the LORD. He chose me instead of your father or anyone else in Saul’s family. The LORD appointed me ruler over his people Israel. I will celebrate to honour the LORD.22And that’s not all. I will bring even less honour to myself. I will bring even more shame on myself. But those female slaves you spoke about will honour me.’23Saul’s daughter Michal didn’t have any children as long as she lived.
1David again brought together all the able young men of Israel – thirty thousand.2He and all his men went to Baalah[1] in Judah to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the Name,[2] the name of the Lord Almighty, who is enthroned between the cherubim on the ark. (1Chr 13,6)3They set the ark of God on a new cart and brought it from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill. Uzzah and Ahio, sons of Abinadab, were guiding the new cart4with the ark of God on it,[3] and Ahio was walking in front of it.5David and all Israel were celebrating with all their might before the Lord, with castanets,[4] harps, lyres, tambourines, rattles and cymbals. (1Chr 13,8)6When they came to the threshing-floor of Nakon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark of God, because the oxen stumbled.7The Lord’s anger burned against Uzzah because of his irreverent act; therefore God struck him down, and he died there beside the ark of God.8Then David was angry because the Lord’s wrath had broken out against Uzzah, and to this day that place is called Perez Uzzah.[5]9David was afraid of the Lord that day and said, ‘How can the ark of the Lord ever come to me?’10He was not willing to take the ark of the Lord to be with him in the City of David. Instead, he took it to the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.11The ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite for three months, and the Lord blessed him and his entire household.12Now King David was told, ‘The Lord has blessed the household of Obed-Edom and everything he has, because of the ark of God.’ So David went to bring up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the City of David with rejoicing.13When those who were carrying the ark of the Lord had taken six steps, he sacrificed a bull and a fattened calf.14Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the Lord with all his might,15while he and all Israel were bringing up the ark of the Lord with shouts and the sound of trumpets.16As the ark of the Lord was entering the City of David, Michal daughter of Saul watched from a window. And when she saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, she despised him in her heart.17They brought the ark of the Lord and set it in its place inside the tent that David had pitched for it, and David sacrificed burnt offerings and fellowship offerings before the Lord.18After he had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord Almighty.19Then he gave a loaf of bread, a cake of dates and a cake of raisins to each person in the whole crowd of Israelites, both men and women. And all the people went to their homes.20When David returned home to bless his household, Michal daughter of Saul came out to meet him and said, ‘How the king of Israel has distinguished himself today, going around half-naked in full view of the slave girls of his servants as any vulgar fellow would!’21David said to Michal, ‘It was before the Lord, who chose me rather than your father or anyone from his house when he appointed me ruler over the Lord’s people Israel – I will celebrate before the Lord.22I will become even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes. But by these slave girls you spoke of, I will be held in honour.’23And Michal daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her death.
