The Box with the agreement is brought to Yerushalem

1Ch 13:1–14

1Ch 15:25—16:43

6:1 The Box with the agreement is brought to Yerushalem

(1 Chr. 13:1-14)

6Then David selected thirty thousand Israeli warriors and gathered them together. 2He led them to Kiriat-Yearim (formerly called Baalah) in Yehudah to get the box of God (whose name is Yahweh the army commander) who lives between the two winged creatures on the top of it.[ref] 3They placed the sacred chest on a newly-made cart and started moving it from Abinadab’s house which was on a hill. Uzzah and Ahyo (Abinadab’s sons) were leading the cart.[ref] 4They took it from Abinadab’s house and Ahyo took the lead in front. 5David and all the Israelis were celebrating in God’s presence with wooden harps and lyres, along with tambourines, shakers, and cymbals.

6But when they reached Nakon’s threshing floor the oxen stumbled so Uzzah reached out to steady the sacred chest. 7Yahweh became furious with Uzzah and killed him right there by the sacred chest because he’d touched it. 8Now David got angry because of Yahweh’s outburst against Uzzah, and that place has been called Perets-Uzzah (meaning ‘The punishment of Uzzah’) until today. 9David was afraid of Yahweh that day and asked, “How will Yahweh’s box get to Yerushalem?” 10So he decided not to take Yahweh’s box there and redirected it instead to the house of Obed-Edom (a Gittite). 11The sacred chest stayed at Obed-Edom’s house for three months, and Yahweh blessed him and all the household.[ref]

12Someone told King David, “Yahweh has blessed Obed-Edom’s household because of the sacred chest,” so David went and brought God’s Box from Obed-Edom’s house to Yerusalem with much happiness. 13When the men who were carrying the sacred chest had walked six steps, they stopped and David sacrificed a bull and a fattened calf there. 14Then David, wearing a linen apron, danced in front of Yahweh, putting everything into it. 15David and all the Israelis brought the sacred chest into Yerushalem with shouting and trumpet blasts.

16However, as they were entering the city, David’s wife Mikal (Sha’ul’s daughter) looked out the window and saw King David leaping and dancing in front of Yahweh, and she felt only despite for him. 17They took Yahweh’s box and placed it in the middle of the tent that David had erected for it. Then David offered burnt sacrifices to Yahweh, as well as peace offerings. 18When David had finished offering those sacrifices, he blessed the people in commander Yahweh’s name. 19He handed out a large bread roll, a cake of pressed dates, and a cake of pressed raisins to each man and woman there, then they all returned to their homes.[ref]

20Then David returned to bless his own house, but his wife Mikal came out to meet him complaining, “What disgraceful behaviour for Israel’s king today—dancing when he was wearing so little and exposing himself to his female servants like some brainless person!”

21It was to thank Yahweh,” David responded, “who chose me (rather than your father and any of his family) by appointing me as leader over Yahweh’s people Israel. I was celebrating in front of Yahweh 22and I will humiliate and humble myself even more than that. Yet I will end up being honoured by those female servants that you were talking about.”

23After that, Sha’ul’s daughter Mikal never had any more children.

3But God came to Abimelech in a dream in the night and told him, “Listen, you’re as good as dead because of that woman you took because she is married to a husband.”

4Now Abimelech hadn’t gone near to her, so he said, “My master, would you destroy a nation even though it’s innocent? 5Didn’t Abraham himself tell me that she was his sister? And she herself also said that he was her brother. I did this with a clear conscience and with clean hands.”

6Then God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know that you did this with a clear conscience and indeed I kept you from sinning against me. I didn’t allow you to touch her for that reason. 7So now, return that man’s wife because he’s a prophet, and he’ll pray for you and you’ll live. But if you don’t return her, be certain that you and all your people will surely die.”
