2 Samuel 6 (NET) New English Translation

1 David again assembled all the best men in Israel, thirty thousand in number.
2 David and all the men who were with him traveled to Baalah in Judah to bring up from there the ark of God which is called by the name of the LORD of hosts, who sits enthroned between the cherubim that are on it.
3 They loaded the ark of God on a new cart and carried it from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill. Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, were guiding the new cart.
4 They brought it with the ark of God up from the house of Abinadab on the hill. Ahio was walking in front of the ark,
5 while David and all Israel were energetically celebrating before the LORD, singing and playing various stringed instruments, tambourines, rattles, and cymbals.
6 When they arrived at the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached out and grabbed hold of the ark of God, because the oxen stumbled.
7 The LORD was so furious with Uzzah, he killed him on the spot for his negligence. He died right there beside the ark of God.
8 David was angry because the LORD attacked Uzzah; so he called that place Perez Uzzah, which remains its name to this very day.
9 David was afraid of the LORD that day and said, "How will the ark of the LORD ever come to me?"
10 So David was no longer willing to bring the ark of the LORD to be with him in the City of David. David left it in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.
11 The ark of the LORD remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite for three months. The LORD blessed Obed-Edom and all his family.
12 David was told, "The LORD has blessed the family of Obed-Edom and everything he owns because of the ark of God." So David went and joyfully brought the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the City of David.
13 Those who carried the ark of the LORD took six steps and then David sacrificed an ox and a fatling calf.
14 Now David, wearing a linen ephod, was dancing with all his strength before the LORD.
15 David and all Israel were bringing up the ark of the LORD, shouting and blowing trumpets.
16 As the ark of the LORD entered the City of David, Saul's daughter Michal looked out the window. When she saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD, she despised him.
17 They brought the ark of the LORD and put it in its place in the middle of the tent that David had pitched for it. Then David offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings before the LORD.
18 When David finished offering the burnt sacrifices and peace offerings, he pronounced a blessing over the people in the name of the LORD of hosts.
19 He then handed out to each member of the entire assembly of Israel, both men and women, a portion of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake. Then all the people went home.
20 When David went home to pronounce a blessing on his own house, Michal, Saul's daughter, came out to meet him. She said, "How the king of Israel has distinguished himself this day! He has exposed himself today before his servants' slave girls the way a vulgar fool might do!"
21 David replied to Michal, "It was before the LORD! I was celebrating before the LORD, who chose me over your father and his entire family and appointed me as leader over the LORD's people Israel.
22 I am willing to shame and humiliate myself even more than this! But with the slave girls whom you mentioned let me be distinguished!"
23 Now Michal, Saul's daughter, had no children to the day of her death.

8 And David H1732 L-NAME was displeased H2734 W-VQY3MS , because H5921 PREP the LORD H3068 EDS had made H6555 VQQ3MS a breach H6556 upon Uzzah H5798 : and he called the name H7121 W-VQY3MS of the H1931 D-PPRO-3MS place H4725 Perez H6560 - uzzah to H5704 PREP this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS .

10 So David H1732 would H14 not H3808 W-NPAR remove H5493 L-VHFC the ark H727 of the LORD H3068 EDS unto H413 PREP-3MS him into H5921 PREP the city H5892 GFS of David H1732 MMS : but David H1732 carried it aside H5186 into the house H1004 CMS of Obed H5654 - edom the Gittite H1663 .

12 And it was told H5046 king H4428 David H1732 MMS , saying H559 L-VQFC , The LORD H3068 EDS hath blessed H1288 VPQ3MS the house H1004 CMS of Obed H5654 - edom , and all H3605 NMS that H834 RPRO pertaineth unto him , because H5668 B-NMS of the ark H727 of God H430 D-EDP . So David H1732 MMS went H1980 W-VQY3MS and brought up H5927 W-VHY3MS the ark H727 of God H430 D-EDP from the house H1004 of Obed H5654 - edom into the city H5892 GFS of David H1732 MMS with gladness H8057 .

16 And as H1961 W-VQQ3MS the ark H727 of the LORD H3068 EDS came H935 VQPMS into the city H5892 GFS of David H1732 MMS , Michal H4324 Saul H7586 \'s daughter H1323 CFS looked H8259 through H1157 PREP a window H2474 , and saw H7200 W-VQQ3FS king H4428 D-NMS David H1732 MMS leaping H6339 and dancing H3769 before H6440 L-CMP the LORD H3068 EDS ; and she despised H959 him in her heart H3820 .

19 And he dealt H2505 among all H3605 NMS the people H5971 , even among the whole H3605 NMS multitude H1995 of Israel H3478 , as well to H5704 W-PREP the women H802 NFS as men H376 NMS , to every one H376 NMS a H259 OFS cake H2471 of bread H3899 NMS , and a H259 MMS good piece H829 of flesh , and a H259 MFS flagon H809 of wine .

And Michal H4324 the daughter H1323 CFS of Saul H7586 came out H3318 to meet H7125 L-VQFC David H1732 MMS , and said H559 W-VQY3FS , How H4100 IPRO glorious H3513 was the king H4428 NMS of Israel H3478 today H3117 D-AMS , who H834 RPRO uncovered himself H1540 today H3117 D-AMS in the eyes H5869 of the handmaids H519 of his servants H5650 , as one H259 of the vain fellows H7386 shamelessly uncovereth himself H1540 !
21 And David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Michal H4324 , It was before H6440 L-CMP the LORD H3068 EDS , which H834 RPRO chose H977 me before thy father H1 , and before all H3605 WM-CMS his house H1004 NMS-3MS , to appoint H6680 me ruler H5057 NMS over H5921 PREP the people H5971 NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS , over H5921 PREP Israel H3478 : therefore will I play H7832 before H6440 L-CMP the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
22 And I will yet H5750 ADV be more vile H7043 than thus H2063 , and will be H1961 base H8217 in mine own sight H5869 : and of H5973 the maidservants H519 which H834 RPRO thou hast spoken H559 VQQ2FS of , of them shall I be had in honor H3513 .
23 Therefore Michal H4324 the daughter H1323 CFS of Saul H7586 had H1961 VQQ3MS no H3808 ADV child H3206 unto H5704 PREP the day H3117 NMS of her death H4194 .
