13 Og David holdt råd med høvedsmennene over tusen og over hundre, med alle høvdingene.

Og David sa til hele Israels menighet: Dersom det tykkes eder godt, og det kommer fra Herren vår Gud, så la oss sende bud til alle kanter til våre andre brødre i alle Israels land, og dessuten til prestene og levittene i de byer de har med jorder omkring, at de skal samle sig hos oss,

og la oss så flytte vår Guds ark hit til oss! For i Sauls dager spurte vi ikke efter den.

Da sa hele menigheten at så burde gjøres; for hele folket syntes det var rett.

Så samlet David hele Israel fra Sihor[a] i Egypten til bortimot Hamat for å hente Guds ark fra Kirjat-Jearim.

Og David og hele Israel drog op til Ba'ala, til Kirjat-Jearim, som hører til Juda, for å føre op derfra Gud Herrens ark, han som troner på kjerubene, hvor hans navn nevnes.

Og de satte Guds ark på en ny vogn og førte den bort fra Abinadabs hus, og Ussa og Ahjo kjørte vognen.

Og David og hele Israel lekte for Guds åsyn av all makt både til sanger og citarer og harper og trommer og cymbler og trompeter.

Da de kom til Kidons treskeplass, rakte Ussa sin hånd ut for å ta fatt i arken; for oksene var blitt ustyrlige.

10 Da optendtes Herrens vrede mot Ussa, og han slo ham fordi han hadde rakt sin hånd ut mot arken, så han døde der for Guds åsyn.

11 Men David blev ille til mote fordi Herren hadde slått Ussa ned; derfor er dette sted blitt kalt Peres-Ussa like til denne dag.

12 Den dag blev David opfylt av frykt for Gud og sa: Hvorledes skulde jeg kunne føre Guds ark inn til mig?

13 Og David flyttet ikke arken inn til sig i Davids stad, men lot den føre bort til gititten Obed-Edoms hus.

14 Guds ark blev stående hos Obed-Edoms familie i hans hus i tre måneder; og Herren velsignet Obed-Edoms hus og alt hvad hans var.

14 Kongen i Tyrus Hiram skikket sendemenn til David med sedertre, og han sendte stenhuggere og tømmermenn til å bygge et hus for ham.

Og David forstod at Herren hadde stadfestet hans kongedømme over Israel; for hans rike var blitt hevet høit for hans folk Israels skyld.

David tok ennu flere hustruer i Jerusalem, og han fikk ennu flere sønner og døtre.

Dette er navnene på de sønner han fikk i Jerusalem: Sammua og Sobab, Natan og Salomo

og Jibhar og Elisua og Elpelet

og Nogah og Nefeg og Jafia

og Elisama og Be'eljada og Elifelet.

Da filistrene hørte at David var salvet til konge over hele Israel, drog alle filistrene ut for å søke efter David; og da David hørte det, drog han ut imot dem.

Og filistrene kom og spredte sig utover i Refa'im-dalen.

10 Da spurte David Gud: Skal jeg dra ut mot filistrene, og vil du gi dem i min hånd? Og Herren svarte: Dra ut! Så vil jeg gi dem i din hånd.

11 Så drog de op til Ba'al-Perasim, og der slo David dem, og David sa: Gud har brutt igjennem mine fiender ved min hånd, som vannene bryter igjennem. Derfor blev dette sted kalt Ba'al-Perasim.

12 Der lot de efter sig sine guder, og David bød at de skulde brennes op med ild.

13 Men filistrene kom igjen og spredte sig utover i dalen.

14 Og David spurte atter Gud, og Gud sa til ham: Du skal ikke dra op efter dem; vend dig fra dem og ta en omvei, så du kommer over dem midt for bakatrærne,

15 og når du hører lyden av skritt i bakatrærnes topper, da skal du dra ut i striden; for Gud har draget ut foran dig for å slå filistrenes hær.

16 David gjorde som Gud hadde befalt ham, og de slo filistrenes hær og forfulgte dem fra Gibeon og like til Geser.

17 og Davids navn kom ut i alle landene, og Herren lot frykt for ham komme over alle folkene.

Bringing Back the Ark(A)

13 David conferred with each of his officers, the commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds. He then said to the whole assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you and if it is the will of the Lord our God, let us send word far and wide to the rest of our people throughout the territories of Israel, and also to the priests and Levites who are with them in their towns and pasturelands, to come and join us. Let us bring the ark of our God back to us,(B) for we did not inquire(C) of[a] it[b] during the reign of Saul.” The whole assembly agreed to do this, because it seemed right to all the people.

So David assembled all Israel,(D) from the Shihor River(E) in Egypt to Lebo Hamath,(F) to bring the ark of God from Kiriath Jearim.(G) David and all Israel went to Baalah(H) of Judah (Kiriath Jearim) to bring up from there the ark of God the Lord, who is enthroned between the cherubim(I)—the ark that is called by the Name.

They moved the ark of God from Abinadab’s(J) house on a new cart, with Uzzah and Ahio guiding it. David and all the Israelites were celebrating with all their might before God, with songs and with harps, lyres, timbrels, cymbals and trumpets.(K)

When they came to the threshing floor of Kidon, Uzzah reached out his hand to steady the ark, because the oxen stumbled. 10 The Lord’s anger(L) burned against Uzzah, and he struck him down(M) because he had put his hand on the ark. So he died there before God.

11 Then David was angry because the Lord’s wrath had broken out against Uzzah, and to this day that place is called Perez Uzzah.[c](N)

12 David was afraid of God that day and asked, “How can I ever bring the ark of God to me?” 13 He did not take the ark to be with him in the City of David. Instead, he took it to the house of Obed-Edom(O) the Gittite. 14 The ark of God remained with the family of Obed-Edom in his house for three months, and the Lord blessed his household(P) and everything he had.

David’s House and Family(Q)

14 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, along with cedar logs,(R) stonemasons and carpenters to build a palace for him. And David knew that the Lord had established him as king over Israel and that his kingdom had been highly exalted(S) for the sake of his people Israel.

In Jerusalem David took more wives and became the father of more sons(T) and daughters. These are the names of the children born to him there:(U) Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon, Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet, Nogah, Nepheg, Japhia, Elishama, Beeliada[d] and Eliphelet.

David Defeats the Philistines(V)

When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel,(W) they went up in full force to search for him, but David heard about it and went out to meet them. Now the Philistines had come and raided the Valley(X) of Rephaim; 10 so David inquired of God: “Shall I go and attack the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hands?”

The Lord answered him, “Go, I will deliver them into your hands.”

11 So David and his men went up to Baal Perazim,(Y) and there he defeated them. He said, “As waters break out, God has broken out against my enemies by my hand.” So that place was called Baal Perazim.[e] 12 The Philistines had abandoned their gods there, and David gave orders to burn(Z) them in the fire.(AA)

13 Once more the Philistines raided the valley;(AB) 14 so David inquired of God again, and God answered him, “Do not go directly after them, but circle around them and attack them in front of the poplar trees. 15 As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the poplar trees, move out to battle, because that will mean God has gone out in front of you to strike the Philistine army.” 16 So David did as God commanded him, and they struck down the Philistine army, all the way from Gibeon(AC) to Gezer.(AD)

17 So David’s fame(AE) spread throughout every land, and the Lord made all the nations fear(AF) him.

13 And David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, and with every leader.

And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, If it seem good unto you, and that it be of the Lord our God, let us send abroad unto our brethren every where, that are left in all the land of Israel, and with them also to the priests and Levites which are in their cities and suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto us:

And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we enquired not at it in the days of Saul.

And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.

So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjathjearim.

And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kirjathjearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the Lord, that dwelleth between the cherubims, whose name is called on it.

And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave the cart.

And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.

And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.

10 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God.

11 And David was displeased, because the Lord had made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perezuzza to this day.

12 And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God home to me?

13 So David brought not the ark home to himself to the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gittite.

14 And the ark of God remained with the family of Obededom in his house three months. And the Lord blessed the house of Obededom, and all that he had.

14 Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house.

And David perceived that the Lord had confirmed him king over Israel, for his kingdom was lifted up on high, because of his people Israel.

And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begat more sons and daughters.

Now these are the names of his children which he had in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,

And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet,

And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,

And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.

And when the Philistines heard that David was anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David. And David heard of it, and went out against them.

And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.

10 And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? And wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the Lord said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine hand.

11 So they came up to Baalperazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand like the breaking forth of waters: therefore they called the name of that place Baalperazim.

12 And when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire.

13 And the Philistines yet again spread themselves abroad in the valley.

14 Therefore David enquired again of God; and God said unto him, Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.

15 And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle: for God is gone forth before thee to smite the host of the Philistines.

16 David therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.

17 And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the Lord brought the fear of him upon all nations.
