Contextual Overview
1 David consulted with the captains of thousands and of hundreds, even with every leader. 2 David said to all the assembly of Yisra'el, If it seem good to you, and if it be of the LORD our God, let us send abroad everywhere to our brothers who are left in all Eretz-Yisra'el, with whom the Kohanim and Levites are in their cities that have suburbs, that they may gather themselves to us; 3 and let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we didn't seek it in the days of Sha'ul. 4 All the assembly said that they would do so; for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people. 5 So David assembled all Yisra'el together, from the Shichor [the brook] of Mitzrayim even to the entrance of Hamat, to bring the ark of God from Kiryat-Ye`arim. 6 David went up, and all Yisra'el, to Ba`alah, [that is], to Kiryat-Ye`arim, which belonged to Yehudah, to bring up from there the ark of God the LORD that sits [above] the Keruvim, that is called by the Name. 7 They carried the ark of God on a new cart, [and brought it] out of the house of Avinadav: and Uzza and Achyo drove the cart. 8 David and all Yisra'el played before God with all their might, even with songs, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.
