2sam 6:1 Daud mengumpulkan pula semua orang pilihan di antara orang Israel, tiga puluh ribu orang banyaknya.
2sam 6:2 Kemudian bersiaplah Daud, lalu berjalan dari Baale-Yehuda dengan seluruh rakyat yang menyertainya, untuk mengangkut dari sana tabut Allah, yang disebut dengan nama TUHAN semesta alam yang bertakhta di atas kerubim.
2sam 6:3 Mereka menaikkan tabut Allah itu ke dalam kereta yang baru setelah mengangkatnya dari rumah Abinadab yang di atas bukit. Lalu Uza dan Ahyo, anak-anak Abinadab, mengantarkan kereta itu.
2sam 6:4 Uza berjalan di samping tabut Allah itu, sedang Ahyo berjalan di depan tabut itu.
2sam 6:5 Daud dan seluruh kaum Israel menari-nari di hadapan TUHAN dengan sekuat tenaga, diiringi nyanyian, kecapi, gambus, rebana, kelentung dan ceracap.
2sam 6:6 Ketika mereka sampai ke tempat pengirikan Nakhon, maka Uza mengulurkan tangannya kepada tabut Allah itu, lalu memegangnya, karena lembu-lembu itu tergelincir.
2sam 6:7 Maka bangkitlah murka TUHAN terhadap Uza, lalu Allah membunuh dia di sana karena keteledorannya itu; ia mati di sana dekat tabut Allah itu.
2sam 6:8 Daud menjadi marah, karena TUHAN telah menyambar Uza demikian hebatnya; maka tempat itu disebut orang Peres-Uza sampai sekarang.
2sam 6:9 Pada waktu itu Daud menjadi takut kepada TUHAN, lalu katanya: "Bagaimana tabut TUHAN itu dapat sampai kepadaku?"
2sam 6:10 Sebab itu Daud tidak mau memindahkan tabut TUHAN itu ke tempatnya, ke kota Daud, tetapi Daud menyimpang dan membawanya ke rumah Obed-Edom, orang Gat itu.
2sam 6:11 Tiga bulan lamanya tabut Tuhan itu tinggal di rumah Obed-Edom, orang Gat itu, dan TUHAN memberkati Obed-Edom dan seisi rumahnya.
2sam 6:12 Diberitahukanlah kepada raja Daud, demikian: "TUHAN memberkati seisi rumah Obed-Edom dan segala yang ada padanya oleh karena tabut Allah itu." Lalu Daud pergi mengangkut tabut Allah itu dari rumah Obed-Edom ke kota Daud dengan sukacita.
2sam 6:13 Apabila pengangkat-pengangkat tabut TUHAN itu melangkah maju enam langkah, maka ia mengorbankan seekor lembu dan seekor anak lembu gemukan.
2sam 6:14 Dan Daud menari-nari di hadapan TUHAN dengan sekuat tenaga; ia berbaju efod dari kain lenan.
2sam 6:15 Daud dan seluruh orang Israel mengangkut tabut TUHAN itu dengan diiringi sorak dan bunyi sangkakala.
2sam 6:16 Ketika tabut TUHAN itu masuk ke kota Daud, maka Mikhal, anak perempuan Saul, menjenguk dari jendela, lalu melihat raja Daud meloncat-loncat serta menari-nari di hadapan TUHAN. Sebab itu ia memandang rendah Daud dalam hatinya.
2sam 6:17 Tabut TUHAN itu dibawa masuk, lalu diletakkan di tempatnya, di dalam kemah yang dibentangkan Daud untuk itu, kemudian Daud mempersembahkan korban bakaran dan korban keselamatan di hadapan TUHAN.
2sam 6:18 Setelah Daud selesai mempersembahkan korban bakaran dan korban keselamatan, diberkatinyalah bangsa itu demi nama TUHAN semesta alam.
2sam 6:19 Lalu dibagikannya kepada seluruh bangsa itu, kepada seluruh khalayak ramai Israel, baik laki-laki maupun perempuan, kepada masing-masing seketul roti bundar, sekerat daging, dan sepotong kue kismis. Sesudah itu pergilah seluruh bangsa itu, masing-masing ke rumahnya.
2sam 6:20 Ketika Daud pulang untuk memberi salam kepada seisi rumahnya, maka keluarlah Mikhal binti Saul mendapatkan Daud, katanya: "Betapa raja orang Israel, yang menelanjangi dirinya pada hari ini di depan mata budak-budak perempuan para hambanya, merasa dirinya terhormat pada hari ini, seperti orang hina dengan tidak malu-malu menelanjangi dirinya!"
2sam 6:21 Tetapi berkatalah Daud kepada Mikhal: "Di hadapan TUHAN, yang telah memilih aku dengan menyisihkan ayahmu dan segenap keluarganya untuk menunjuk aku menjadi raja atas umat TUHAN, yakni atas Israel, --di hadapan TUHAN aku menari-nari,
2sam 6:22 bahkan aku akan menghinakan diriku lebih dari pada itu; engkau akan memandang aku rendah, tetapi bersama-sama budak-budak perempuan yang kaukatakan itu, bersama-sama merekalah aku mau dihormati."
2sam 6:23 Mikhal binti Saul tidak mendapat anak sampai hari matinya.
2samuel 6:1 Again, David gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
2samuel 6:2 And 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 cherubim.
2samuel 6:3 And 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.
2samuel 6:4 And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which was at Gibeah, accompanying the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark.
2samuel 6:5 And 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.
2samuel 6:6 And when they came to Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it.
2samuel 6:7 And 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.
2samuel 6:8 And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perezuzzah to this day.
2samuel 6:9 And David was afraid of the LORD that day, and said, How shall the ark of the LORD come to me?
2samuel 6:10 So 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.
2samuel 6:11 And the ark of the LORD continued in the house of Obededom the Gittite three months: and the LORD blessed Obededom, and all his household.
2samuel 6:12 And 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.
2samuel 6:13 And it was so, that when they that bare the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.
2samuel 6:14 And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.
2samuel 6:15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.
2samuel 6:16 And as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.
2samuel 6:17 And 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.
2samuel 6:18 And 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.
2samuel 6:19 And 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.
2samuel 6:20 Then 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!
2samuel 6:21 And 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.
2samuel 6:22 And 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 honor.
2samuel 6:23 Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death.
