All these men came in battle array to heian with the single purpose of
making David the king over all Israel.
In fact, everyone in Israel agreed that David should be their king.
They feasted and drank with David for three days for preparations had been made
by their relatives for their arrival.
People from as far away as is a car.
Zebulon and Naftaly brought food on donkeys, camels, mules, and oxen.
Vast supplies of flour, fig cakes, clusters of raisins, wine, olive
oil, cattle, sheep, and goats were brought to the celebration.
There was great joy throughout the land of Israel.
David consulted with all his officials.
Including the generals and captains of his army.
Then he addressed the entire assembly of Israel as follows.
If you approve and if it is the will of the Lord our God, let us send messages
to all the Israelites throughout the land, including the priests and Levites
in their towns and pasture lands.
Let us invite them to come and join us.
It is time to bring back the ark of our God.
For, we neglected it during the reign of Saul.
The whole assembly agreed to this for the people could see
it was the right thing to do.
So David summoned all Israel from the Chiho brook of Egypt in the South all
the way to the town of Libo, Hamoth in the north to join in, bringing
the Ark of God from Curious Jira.
Then David and all Israel went to Baya of Judah.
Also called Qim to bring back the Ark of God, which bears the name of the Lord,
who is enthroned between the cherubim.
They placed the Ark of God on a new cart and brought it from a ADA's house.
Za and Ohio were guiding the cart.
David and all Israel were celebrating before God with all their might,
singing songs and playing all kinds of musical instruments.
Liars, harps, tambourines, symbols and trumpets.
But when they arrived at the threshing floor of neon, the oxen stumbled and Za
reached out his hand to steady the ark.
Then the Lord's anger was aroused against Za, and he struck him dead
because he had laid his hand on the ark.
So Za died there in the presence of God.
David was angry because the Lord's anger had burst out against Za.
He named that place Perez Za, which means to burst out against
Za as it is still called today.
David was now afraid of God and he asked, how can I ever bring
the Ark of God back into my care?
So David did not move the ark into the city of David.
Instead, he took it to the House of Oed.
Edam of Gath.
The Ark of God remained there in Oed Ed's house for three months, and
the Lord blessed the household of Oed Edam and everything he owned.
Then King Hiram of Tyre sent messengers to David along with
cedar timber and stone masons and carpenters to build him a palace.
David realized that the Lord had confirmed him as king over Israel
and had greatly blessed his kingdom for the sake of his people, Israel.
Then David married more wives in Jerusalem and they had more sons and daughters.
These are the names of David's sons who were born in Jerusalem.

When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel,
they mobilized all their forces to capture him, but David was told they were
coming, so he marched out to meet them.
The Philistines arrived and made a raid in the valley, ofum.
So David asked, God, should I go out to fight the Philistines?
Will you hand them over to me?
The Lord replied, yes, go ahead.
I will hand them over to you.
So David and his troops went up to bail, parez them, and defeated the Philistines.
There, God did it.
David exclaimed.
He used me to burst through my enemies like a raging flood.
So they named that place Bail Perez.
Which means the Lord who bursts through the Philistines had
abandoned their gods there.
So David gave orders to burn them.
But after a while, the Philistines returned and raided the valley again, and
once again, David asked God what to do.
Do not attack them straight on God.
Replied instead, circle around behind and attack them near the poplar trees.
When you hear a sound like marching feet in the tops of the
poplar trees go out and attack.
That will be the signal that God is moving ahead of you to
strike down the Philistine army.
So David did what God commanded, and they struck down the Philistine army
all the way from gibeon to geezer.
So David's fame spread everywhere and the Lord caused all the nations to fear David.
David now built several buildings for himself in the city of David.
He also prepared a place for the Ark of God and set up a special tent for it.
Then he commanded no one except the Levites may carry the Ark of God.
The Lord has chosen them to carry the ark of the Lord and to serve him forever.
Then David summoned all Israel to Jerusalem to bring the ark of the Lord
to the place he had prepared for it.
This is the number of the descendants of Aaron, the priests, and the Levites
who were called together from the Klan of Coha 120 with Uel as their leader
from the Klan of Marai 220 with Isaiah as their leader from the clan of
Gershon 130 with Joel as their leader.
From the descendants of EZ Fan 200 with Shama as their leader from the
descendants of Hein 80, with Lyle as their leader from the descendants
of Ail 112 with AAB as their leader.
Then David summoned the priests, Zadak and Abiathar, and these Levite
leaders, Uriel, Isaiah, Joel, Shama.
Lyle and Amab, he said to them, you are the leaders of the Levite families.
You must purify yourselves and all your fellow Levites so you can bring
the ark of the Lord, the God of Israel to the place I have prepared for it.
Because you, Levites did not carry the ark the first time.
The anger of the Lord our God burst out against us.
We failed to ask God how to move it properly.
So the priests and the Levites purified themselves in order to bring the ark of
the Lord, the God of Israel to Jerusalem.
Then the Levites carried the Ark of God on their shoulders with its carrying poles,
just as the Lord had instructed Moses.
David also ordered the Levite leaders to appoint a choir of Levites who
were singers and musicians to sing joyful songs to the accompaniment
of harps, liars and symbols.
So the Levites appointed Heman son of Joel, along with his fellow Levites Asaf,
son of Barak, Kaya, and Ethan, son of Chea from the clan of Marai, the following
men were chosen as their assistants.

of whom were priests, were chosen to blow the trumpets as they

Then David and the Elders of Israel and the generals of the Army went
to the house of Obed Edam to bring the Ark of the Lord's covenant up to
Jerusalem with a great celebration.
And because God was clearly helping the Levites as they carried the
Ark of the Lord's covenant, they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.
David was dressed in a robe of fine linen as were all the
Levites who carried the arc.
And also the singers, and Ken Anaya, the choir leader.
David was also wearing a priestly garment, so all Israel brought up the
Ark of the Lord's covenant with shouts of joy, the blowing of Rams, horns
and trumpets, the crashing of symbols and loud playing on harps and liars.
But as the Ark of the Lord's covenant entered the city of
David, Michael, the daughter of Saul, looked down from her window.
When she saw King David skipping about and laughing with joy, she
was filled with contempt for him.
They brought the Ark of God and placed it inside the special tent.
David had prepared for it and they presented burnt offerings
and peace offerings to God when he had finished his sacrifices.
David blessed the people in the name of the Lord.
Then he gave to every man and woman in all Israel, a loaf of bread, a
cake of dates, and a cake of raisins.
David appointed the following Levites to lead the people in worship before
the Ark of the Lord, to invoke his blessings, to give thanks and to praise
the Lord, the God of Israel asap.
