2nd Samuel 撒母耳记下06

6David again brought together out of Israel chosen men, thirty thousand in all.
2He and all his men set out from Baalah of Judah to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the Name, the name of the Lord Almighty¹, who is enthroned between the cherubim that are on the ark.
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 cart
4with the ark of God on it, and Ahio was walking in front of it.
5David and the whole house of Israel were celebrating with all their might before the Lord , with songs and with harps², lyres, tambourines³, sistrums and cymbals⁴.
6When they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, 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 wrath⁵ had broken out against Uzzah, and to this day that place is called Perez Uzzah.
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 aside 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 down and brought 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 fattened⁶ calf⁷.
14David, wearing a linen⁸ ephod, danced before the Lord with all his might,
15while he and the entire house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouts and the sound of trumpets⁹.
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 raisins¹⁰ 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 distinguished¹¹ himself today, disrobing in the sight 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 humiliated¹² in my own eyes. But by these slave girls you spoke¹³ of, I will be held in honor."
23And Michal daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her death.
