1 다윗은 천명부대지휘관, 백명부대지휘관 그밖의 모든 지도자들과 의논하고2 이스라엘 온 군중에게 말하였다, ≪여러분이 좋게 여기고 우리 하나님께서 허락만 해주신다면 전국에 있는 다른 동족들을 불러오고 목장 달린 성읍들에서 제사장들과 레위사람들을 불러다가3 사울시대에 찾아오지 못한 하나님의 궤를 찾아오려고 하는데 어떻소?≫4 온 군중은 그것을 마땅한 일로 여겨 그렇게 하자고 하였다.5 다윗은 하나님의 궤를 기럇여아림에서 옮겨오려고 애급 시흘에서부터 하맛어귀에 이르는 전국에서 온 이스라엘을 불러모았다.6 다윗은 하나님의 궤를 옮기려고 온 이스라엘을 이끌고 바알라라고 하는 유다지파에 속한 기럇여아림땅으로 갔다. 그 궤는 ≪그룹을 타고계시는 여호와≫라는 이름으로 불리는 궤였다.7 드디여 그 하나님의 궤를 새 수레에 싣고 아비나답의 집을 나왔다. 아비나답의 아들 웃사와 아효는 수레를 몰고8 다윗은 온 이스라엘과 함께 하나님앞에서 수금과 거문고를 뜯으며 소고와 바라를 치고 나팔을 불면서 마음껏 노래를 부르며 춤을 추었다.9 그들이 기돈이라는 사람의 타작마당에 이르렀을 때였다. 소가 뛰는 바람에 궤가 떨어지려고 하자 웃사가 손을 대여 붙들었다.10 여호와께서는 웃사가 궤에 손을 댔다고 진노하시여 그를 치셨다. 웃사는 당장 하나님앞에서 죽었다.11 다윗은 웃사를 치신 일이 몹시 마음에 걸려 그곳을 베레스웃사라고 불렀는데 그 이름은 지금까지 남아있다.12 다윗은 그날 여호와가 너무 두려워 ≪내가 어찌 감히 하나님의 궤를 모시랴.≫하고13 그 궤를 자기의 도성으로 모셔가지 못하고 가드사람 오베데돔의 집으로 옮겨 모셨다.14 그래서 오베데돔의 식구들이 하나님의 궤를 석달동안 모시게 되였는데 그동안 여호와께서는 오베데돔의 식구들과 그의 모든 재산에 복을 내려주셨다.
2 Samuel 6
1 David again gathered all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.2 And David arose and went with all the people who were with him from Baale-judah to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the name of the LORD of hosts who sits enthroned on the cherubim.3 And they carried the ark of God on a new cart and brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill. And Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, were driving the new cart,4 with the ark of God, and Ahio went before the ark.5 And David and all the house of Israel were making merry before the LORD, with songs and lyres and harps and tambourines and castanets and cymbals.6 And when they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah put out his hand to the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen stumbled.7 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah, and God struck him down there because of his error, and he died there beside the ark of God.8 And David was angry because the LORD had burst forth against Uzzah. And that place is called Perez-uzzah, to this day.9 And David was afraid of the LORD that day, and he said, “How can the ark of the LORD come to me?”10 So David was not willing to take the ark of the LORD into the city of David. But David took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.11 And the ark of the LORD remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months, and the LORD blessed Obed-edom and all his household.12 And it was told King David, “The LORD has blessed the household of Obed-edom and all that belongs to him, because of the ark of God.” So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom to the city of David with rejoicing.13 And when those who bore the ark of the LORD had gone six steps, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened animal.14 And David danced before the LORD with all his might. And David was wearing a linen ephod.15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting and with the sound of the horn.16 As the ark of the LORD came into the city of David, Michal the daughter of Saul looked out of the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD, and she despised him in her heart.17 And they brought in the ark of the LORD and set it in its place, inside the tent that David had pitched for it. And David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.18 And when David had finished offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts19 and distributed among all the people, the whole multitude of Israel, both men and women, a cake of bread, a portion of meat, and a cake of raisins to each one. Then all the people departed, each to his house.20 And David returned to bless his household. But Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David and said, “How the king of Israel honored himself today, uncovering himself today before the eyes of his servants' female servants, as one of the vulgar fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!”21 And David said to Michal, “It was before the LORD, who chose me above your father and above all his house, to appoint me as prince over Israel, the people of the LORD—and I will make merry before the LORD.22 I will make myself yet more contemptible than this, and I will be abased in your eyes. But by the female servants of whom you have spoken, by them I shall be held in honor.”23 And Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.
