大卫与众人商议运约柜

¹大卫与千夫长、百夫长，就是一切首领商议。Then David conferred with all his leaders, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds.

²大卫对以色列全会众说：“你们若以为美，见这事是出于耶和华—我们的　神，我们就差遣人走遍以色列地，见我们未来的弟兄，又见住在有郊野之城的祭司利未人，使他们都到这里来聚集。And he said to the whole assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if this is of the LORD our God, let us send word far and wide to the rest of our brothers in all the land of Israel, and also to the priests and Levites in their cities and pasturelands, so that they may join us.

³我们要把　神的约柜运到我们这里来；因为在扫罗年间，我们没有在约柜前求问　神。”Then let us bring back the ark of our God, for we did not inquire of Him in the days of Saul.”

⁴全会众都说可以如此行；这事在众民眼中都看为好。And because this proposal seemed right to all the people, the whole assembly agreed to it.

用新车运约柜

⁵于是，大卫将以色列人从埃及的西曷河直到哈马口都招聚了来，要从基列耶琳将　神的约柜运来。So David assembled all Israel, from the River Shihor in Egypt to Lebo-hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.

⁶大卫率领以色列众人上到巴拉，就是属犹大的基列·耶琳，要从那里将约柜运来。这约柜就是坐在二基路伯上耶和华　神留名的约柜。David and all Israel went up to Baalah of Judah (that is, Kiriath-jearim) to bring up from there the ark of God the LORD, who is enthroned between the cherubim—the ark that is called by the Name.

⁷他们将　神的约柜从亚比拿达的家里抬出来，放在新车上。乌撒和亚希约赶车。So they carried the ark of God from the house of Abinadab on a new cart, with Uzzah and Ahio guiding the cart.

⁸大卫和以色列众人在　神前用琴、瑟、锣、鼓、号作乐，极力跳舞歌唱。David and all the Israelites were celebrating before God with all their might, with songs and on harps and lyres, with tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets.

乌撒被击杀

⁹到了基顿（在撒母耳下六章六节是拿艮）的禾场；因为牛失前蹄（或译：惊跳），乌撒就伸手扶住约柜。When they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark, because the oxen had stumbled.

¹⁰耶和华向他发怒，因他伸手扶住约柜击杀他，他就死在　神面前。And the anger of the LORD burned against Uzzah, and He struck him down because he had put his hand on the ark. So he died there before God.

¹¹大卫因耶和华击杀（原文是闯杀）乌撒，心里愁烦，就称那地方为毗列斯·乌撒，直到今日。Then David became angry because the LORD had burst forth against Uzzah. So he named that place Perez-uzzah, as it is called to this day.

约柜暂放俄别‧以东家

¹²那日，大卫惧怕　神，说：“　神的约柜怎可运到我这里来？”That day David feared God and asked, “How can I ever bring the ark of God to me?”

¹³于是大卫不将约柜运进大卫的城，却运到迦特人俄别·以东的家中。So he did not move the ark with him to the City of David; instead, he took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

¹⁴神的约柜在俄别·以东家中三个月，耶和华赐福给俄别·以东的家和他一切所有的。Thus the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house for three months, and the LORD blessed his household and everything he owned.

两次打败非利士人

⁸非利士人听见大卫受膏作以色列众人的王，非利士众人就上来寻索大卫。大卫听见，就出去迎敌。When the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, they all went in search of him; but David learned of this and went out to face them.

⁹非利士人来了，布散在利乏音谷。Now the Philistines had come and raided the Valley of Rephaim.

¹⁰大卫求问　神，说：“我可以上去攻打非利士人吗？你将他们交在我手里吗？”耶和华说：“你可以上去，我必将他们交在你手里。”So David inquired of God, “Should I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?” “Go,” replied the LORD, “for I will deliver them into your hand.”

¹¹非利士人来到巴力·毗拉心，大卫在那里杀败他们。大卫说：“　神借我的手冲破敌人，如同水冲去一般”；因此称那地方为巴力·毗拉心。So David and his men went up to Baal-perazim, where he defeated the Philistines and said, “Like a bursting flood, God has burst out against my enemies by my hand.” So they called that place Baal-perazim.

¹²非利士人将神像撇在那里，大卫吩咐人用火焚烧了。There the Philistines abandoned their gods, and David ordered that they be burned in the fire.

¹⁵你听见桑树梢上有脚步的声音，就要出战，因为　神已经在你前头去攻打非利士人的军队。”As soon as you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, move out to battle, because this will mean that God has gone out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.”

¹⁶大卫就遵着　神所吩咐的，攻打非利士人的军队，从基遍直到基色。So David did as God had commanded him, and they struck down the army of the Philistines all the way from Gibeon to Gezer.

预备地方，命利未人抬约柜

¹大卫在大卫城为自己建造宫殿，又为　神的约柜预备地方，支搭帐幕。David constructed buildings for himself in the City of David, and he prepared a place for the ark of God and pitched a tent for it.

²那时大卫说：“除了利未人之外，无人可抬　神的约柜；因为耶和华拣选他们抬　神的约柜，且永远事奉他。”Then David said, “No one but the Levites may carry the ark of God, because the LORD has chosen them to carry the ark of the LORD and to minister before Him forever.”

³大卫招聚以色列众人到耶路撒冷，要将耶和华的约柜抬到他所预备的地方。And David assembled all Israel in Jerusalem to bring up the ark of the LORD to the place he had prepared for it.

⁴大卫又聚集亚伦的子孙和利未人。Then he gathered together the descendants of Aaron and the Levites:

⁵哥辖子孙中有族长乌列和他的弟兄一百二十人。From the Kohathites, Uriel the chief and 120 of his relatives;

⁶米拉利子孙中有族长亚帅雅和他的弟兄二百二十人。from the Merarites, Asaiah the chief and 220 of his relatives;

¹²对他们说：“你们是利未人的族长，你们和你们的弟兄应当自洁，好将耶和华—以色列　神的约柜抬到我所预备的地方。And he said to them, “You are the heads of the Levitical families. You and your relatives must consecrate yourselves so that you may bring the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel, to the place I have prepared for it.

¹³因你们先前没有抬这约柜，按定例求问耶和华—我们的　神，所以他刑罚（原文是闯杀）我们。”It was because you Levites were not with us the first time that the LORD our God burst forth in anger against us. For we did not consult Him about the proper order.”

¹⁴于是祭司利未人自洁，好将耶和华—以色列　神的约柜抬上来。So the priests and Levites consecrated themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel.

¹⁵利未子孙就用杠，肩抬　神的约柜，是照耶和华借摩西所吩咐的。And the Levites carried the ark of God on their shoulders with the poles, as Moses had commanded in accordance with the word of the LORD.

派定歌唱奏乐的利未人

¹⁶大卫吩咐利未人的族长，派他们歌唱的弟兄用琴瑟和钹作乐，欢欢喜喜地大声歌颂。David also told the leaders of the Levites to appoint their relatives as singers to lift up their voices with joy, accompanied by musical instruments—harps, lyres, and cymbals.

¹⁷于是利未人派约珥的儿子希幔和他弟兄中比利家的儿子亚萨，并他们族弟兄米拉利子孙里古沙雅的儿子以探。So the Levites appointed Heman son of Joel; from his brothers, Asaph son of Berechiah; from their brothers the Merarites, Ethan son of Kushaiah;

欢欢喜喜抬约柜进城

²⁵于是，大卫和以色列的长老，并千夫长都去从俄别·以东的家欢欢喜喜地将耶和华的约柜抬上来。So David, the elders of Israel, and the commanders of thousands went with rejoicing to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD from the house of Obed-edom.

²⁶神赐恩与抬耶和华约柜的利未人，他们就献上七只公牛，七只公羊。And because God helped the Levites who were carrying the ark of the covenant of the LORD, they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.

²⁷大卫和抬约柜的利未人，并歌唱人的首领基拿尼雅，以及歌唱的人，都穿着细麻布的外袍；大卫另外穿着细麻布的以弗得。Now David was dressed in a robe of fine linen, as were all the Levites who were carrying the ark, as well as the singers and Chenaniah, the director of music for the singers. David also wore a linen ephod.

²⁸这样，以色列众人欢呼吹角、吹号、敲钹、鼓瑟、弹琴，大发响声，将耶和华的约柜抬上来。So all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting, with the sounding of rams’ horns and trumpets, and with cymbals and the music of harps and lyres.

米甲心里轻视大卫

安放约柜、献祭祝福

¹众人将　神的约柜请进去，安放在大卫所搭的帐幕里，就在　神面前献燔祭和平安祭。So they brought the ark of God and placed it inside the tent that David had pitched for it. And they presented burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.
