Chronicles 13-15
1Ch
13:1 David consulted with the captains of thousands and of hundreds,
even with every leader.
1Ch
13:2 David said to all the assembly of Israel, If it seems good to
you, and if it is of Yahweh our God, let us send abroad everywhere to
our brothers who are left in all the land of Israel, with whom the
priests and Levites are in their cities that have suburbs, that they
may gather themselves to us;
1Ch
13:3 and let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we didn't
seek it in the days of Saul.
1Ch
13:4 All the assembly said that they would do so; for the thing was
right in the eyes of all the people.
1Ch
13:5 So David assembled all Israel together, from the Shihor the
brook of Egypt even to the entrance of
Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath Jearim.
1Ch
13:6 David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that
is, to Kiriath Jearim, which belonged to
Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God Yahweh that sits above
the cherubim, that is called by the Name.
1Ch
13:7 They carried the ark of God on a new cart, and
brought it out of the house of Abinadab:
and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart.
1Ch
13:8 David and all Israel played before God with all their might,
even with songs, and with harps, and with stringed instruments, and
with tambourines, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.
1Ch
13:9 When they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzza put forth
his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.
1Ch
13:10 The anger of Yahweh was kindled against Uzza, and he struck
him, because he put forth his hand to the ark; and there he died
before God.
1Ch
13:11 David was displeased, because Yahweh had broken forth on Uzza;
and he called that place Perez Uzza, to this day.
1Ch
13:12 David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring
the ark of God home to me?
1Ch
13:13 So David didn't move the ark to him into the city of David,
but carried it aside into the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.
1Ch
13:14 The ark of God remained with the family of Obed-Edom in his
house three months: and Yahweh blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and
all that he had.
1Ch
14:1 Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar trees,
and masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.
1Ch
14:2 David perceived that Yahweh had established him king over
Israel; for his kingdom was exalted on high, for his people Israel's
sake.
1Ch
14:3 David took more wives at Jerusalem; and David became the father
of more sons and daughters.
1Ch
14:4 These are the names of the children whom he had in Jerusalem:
Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon,
1Ch
14:5 and Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpelet,
1Ch
14:6 and Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia,
1Ch
14:7 and Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphelet.
1Ch
14:8 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.
1Ch
14:9 Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of
Rephaim.
1Ch
14:10 David inquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the
Philistines? and will you deliver them into my hand? Yahweh said to
him, Go up; for I will deliver them into your hand.
1Ch
14:11 So they came up to Baal Perazim, and David struck them there;
and David said, God has broken my enemies by my hand, like the breach
of waters. Therefore they called the name of that place Baal Perazim.
1Ch
14:12 They left their gods there; and David gave commandment, and
they were burned with fire.
1Ch
14:13 The Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley.
1Ch
14:14 David inquired again of God; and God said to him, You shall
not go up after them: turn away from them, and come on them over
against the mulberry trees.
1Ch
14:15 It shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops
of the mulberry trees, that then you shall go out to battle; for God
is gone out before you to strike the army of the Philistines.
1Ch
14:16 David did as God commanded him: and they struck the army of
the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.
1Ch
14:17 The fame of David went out into all lands; and Yahweh brought
the fear of him on all nations.
1Ch
15:1 David
made him houses in the city of David; and he prepared a place for the
ark of God, and pitched for it a tent.
1Ch
15:2 Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the
Levites: for them has Yahweh chosen to carry the ark of God, and to
minister to him forever.
1Ch
15:3 David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of
Yahweh to its place, which he had prepared for it.
1Ch
15:4 David gathered together the sons of Aaron, and the Levites:
1Ch
15:5 of the sons of Kohath, Uriel the chief, and his brothers one
hundred twenty;
1Ch
15:6 of the sons of Merari, Asaiah the chief, and his brothers two
hundred twenty;
1Ch
15:7 of the sons of Gershom, Joel the chief, and his brothers one
hundred thirty;
1Ch
15:8 of the sons of Elizaphan, Shemaiah the chief, and his brothers
two hundred;
1Ch
15:9 of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief, and his brothers
eighty;
1Ch
15:10 of the sons of Uzziel, Amminadab the chief, and his brothers
one hundred twelve.
1Ch
15:11 David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the
Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and
Amminadab,
1Ch
15:12 and said to them, You are the heads of the fathers' houses
of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, both you and your brothers, that
you may bring up the ark of Yahweh, the God of Israel, to the
place that I have prepared for it.
1Ch
15:13 For because you didn't carry it at the first, Yahweh our God
made a breach on us, because we didn't seek him according to the
ordinance.
1Ch
15:14 So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring
up the ark of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
1Ch
15:15 The children of the Levites bore the ark of God on their
shoulders with the poles thereon, as Moses commanded according to the
word of Yahweh.
1Ch
15:16 David spoke to the chief of the Levites to appoint their
brothers the singers, with instruments of music, stringed instruments
and harps and cymbals, sounding aloud and lifting up the voice with
joy.
1Ch
15:17 So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his
brothers, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their
brothers, Ethan the son of Kushaiah;
1Ch
15:18 and with them their brothers of the second degree, Zechariah,
Ben, and Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and
Benaiah, and Maaseiah, and Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah,
and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, the doorkeepers.
1Ch
15:19 So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were
appointed with cymbals of brass to sound
aloud;
1Ch
15:20 and Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and
Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with stringed instruments
set to Alamoth;
1Ch
15:21 and Mattithiah, and Eliphelehu, and Mikneiah, and Obed-Edom,
and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps tuned to the eight-stringed lyre,
to lead.
1Ch
15:22 Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, was over the song: he
instructed about the song, because he was skillful.
1Ch
15:23 Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers for the ark.
1Ch
15:24 Shebaniah, and Joshaphat, and Nethanel, and Amasai, and
Zechariah, and Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, did blow the
trumpets before the ark of God: and Obed-Edom and Jehiah were
doorkeepers for the ark.
1Ch
15:25 So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over
thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh out of
the house of Obed-Edom with joy.
1Ch
15:26 It happened, when God helped the Levites who bore the ark of
the covenant of Yahweh, that they sacrificed seven bulls and seven
rams.
1Ch
15:27 David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the
Levites who bore the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master
of the song with
the singers: and David had on him an ephod of linen.
1Ch
15:28 Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of Yahweh
with shouting, and with sound of the cornet, and with trumpets, and
with cymbals, sounding aloud with stringed instruments and harps.
1Ch
15:29 It happened, as the ark of the covenant of Yahweh came to the
city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at the
window, and saw king David dancing and playing; and she despised him
in her heart.
The Composite Bible

Literal Translation
The
Composite
Bible
is
a effort to understand the Bible by considering it from different
perspectives and different levels of literalcy. First, read the
World English Bible (the least literal-black
text)
for comprehension of the text. Next, read both the World English
Bible with the Darby Translation (more literal-blue
text)to
make comparisons and lastly, read all three versions (Young's is the
most literal translation-
red text)
at one time to obtain an overview of the text. Doing this will make
you think about what
the
Scriptures are actually saying and avoid reading in a superficial
manner.
