ThomsonAGAIN David assembled all the young men of Israel, about seventy thousand.

BrentonAnd David again gathered all the young men of Israel, about seventy thousand.

GreekΚαὶ συνήγαγεν ἔτι Δαυὶδ πάντα νεανίαν ἐξ Ἰσραὴλ, ὡς ἑβδομήκοντα χιλιάδας.

ThomsonAnd David arose, and set out on his march, he and all the people with him, and some of the chiefs of Juda, to bring up thence the ark of God, which is called by the name of the Lord of hosts enthroned on the cherubims, which are on it.

BrentonAnd David arose, and went, he and all the people that were with him, and some of the rulers of Juda, on an expedition to a distant place, to bring back thence the ark of God, on which the name of the Lord of Hosts who dwells between the cherubs upon it is called.

GreekΚαὶ ἀνέστη καὶ ἐπορεύθη Δαυὶδ καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ὁ μετʼ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἀρχόντων Ἰούδα ἐν ἀναβάσει τοῦ ἀναγαγεῖν ἐκεῖθεν τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἐφʼ ἣν ἐπεκλήθη τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Κυρίου τῶν δυνάμεων καθημένου ἐπὶ τῶν χερουβὶν ἐπʼ αὐτῆς.

ThomsonAnd having put the ark of the Lord in a new car, they brought it from the house of Aminadab, who dwelt on the mount. And Oza, and his brothers the sons of Aminadab, led the car with the ark.

BrentonAnd they put the ark of the Lord on a new waggon, and took it out of the house of Aminadab who lived on the hill: and Oza and his brethren the sons of Aminadab drove the waggon with the ark.

GreekΚαὶ ἐπεβίβασεν τὴν κιβωτὸν Κυρίου ἐφʼ ἅμαξαν καινὴν, καὶ ᾖραν αὐτὴν ἐξ οἴκου Ἀμιναδὰβ τοῦ ἐν τῷ βουνῷ· καὶ Ὀζὰ καὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ υἱοὶ Ἀμιναδὰβ ἦγαν τὴν ἅμαξαν σὺν τῇ κιβωτῷ.

ThomsonHis brothers marched before the ark.

BrentonAnd his brethren went before the ark.

GreekΚαὶ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπορεύοντο ἔμπροσθεν τῆς κιβωτοῦ.

ThomsonAnd David and the Israelites played on well-tuned instruments of music, accompanied with sons, and on harps and on lutes, and on tympani, and on cymbals, and on pipes.

BrentonAnd David and the children of Israel were playing before the Lord on well-tuned instruments mightily, and with songs, and with harps, and with lutes, and with drums, and with cymbals, and with pipes.

GreekΚαὶ Δαυὶδ καὶ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ παίζοντες ἐνώπιον Κυρίου ἐν ὀργάνοις ἡρμοσμένοις ἐν ἰσχύϊ, καὶ ἐν ᾠδαῖς, καὶ ἐν κινύραις, καὶ ἐν νάβλαις, καὶ ἐν τυμπάνοις, καὶ ἐν κυμβάλοις, καὶ ἐν αὐλοῖς.

ThomsonBut when they came to the threshing floor of Nachor, Oza stretched forth his hand upon the ark of God to stay it, and took hold of it, because the young bull shook it.

BrentonAnd they come as far as the threshing floor of Nachor: and Oza reached forth his hand to the ark of God to keep it steady, and took hold of it; for the ox shook it out of its place.

GreekΚαὶ παραγίνονται ἕως ἅλω Ναχώρ· καὶ ἐξέτεινεν Ὀζὰ τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ κατασχεῖν αὐτὴν, καὶ ἐκράτησεν αὐτὴν, ὅτι περιέσπασεν αὐτὴν ὁ μόσχος.

ThomsonAnd the anger of the Lord was kindled against Oza, and he smote him there, by the ark of the Lord, in the presence of God.

BrentonAnd the Lord was very angry with Oza; and God smote him there: and he died there by the ark of the Lord before God.

GreekΚαὶ ἐθυμώθη ὀργῇ Κύριος τῷ Ὀζᾷ, καὶ ἔπαισεν αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ ὁ Θεός, καὶ ἀπέθανεν ἐκεῖ παρὰ τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ Κυρίου ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ.

ThomsonNow David was disheartened because the Lord had broke out upon Oza, and that place is to this day called Breach of Oza;

BrentonAnd David was dispirited because the Lord made a breach upon Oza; and that place was called the breach of Oza until this day.

GreekΚαὶ ἠθύμησε Δαυὶδ ὑπὲρ οὗ διέκοψε Κύριος διακοπὴν ἐν τῷ Ὀζᾷ, καὶ ἐκλήθη ὁ τόπος ἐκεῖνος, διακοπὴ Ὀζᾶ, ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης.

Thomsonand David was afraid of the Lord that day, saying, How shall the ark of the Lord come to me?

BrentonAnd David feared the Lord in that day, saying, How shall the ark of the Lord come in to me?

GreekΚαὶ ἐφοβήθη Δαυὶδ τὸν Κύριον ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, λέγων, πῶς εἰσελεύσεται πρὸς μὲ ἡ κιβωτὸς Κυρίου;

ThomsonSo David was not willing that the ark of the covenant of the Lord should turn aside to him, into the city of David, and David caused it to turn aside to the house of Abeddara, the Gethite.

BrentonAnd David would not bring in the ark of the covenant of the Lord to himself into the city of David: and David turned it aside into the house of Abeddara the Gethite.

GreekΚαὶ οὐκ ἐβούλετο Δαυὶδ τοῦ ἐκκλῖναι πρὸς αὐτὸν τὴν κιβωτὸν διαθήκης Κυρίου εἰς τὴν πόλιν Δαυίδ· καὶ ἀπέκλινεν αὐτὴν Δαυὶδ εἰς οἶκον Ἀβεδδαρὰ τοῦ Γεθαίου.

ThomsonAnd the ark of the Lord abode in the house of Abeddara the Gethite three months, and the Lord blessed the whole house of Abeddara, and all belonging to him.

BrentonAnd the ark of the Lord lodged in the house of Abeddara the Gethite three months, and the Lord blessed all the house of Abeddara, and all his possessions.

GreekΚαὶ ἐκάθισεν ἡ κιβωτὸς τοῦ Κυρίου εἰς οἶκον Ἀβεδδαρὰ τοῦ Γεθαίου μῆνας τρεῖς· καὶ εὐλόγησε Κύριος ὅλον τὸν οἶκον Ἀβεδδαρὰ, καὶ πάντα τὰ αὐτοῦ.

ThomsonAnd when they told king David saying, The Lord hath blessed the house of Abeddara, and all belonging to him, on account of the ark of God, David went and brought up the ark of the Lord out of the house of Abeddara, into the city of David, with rejoicing.

BrentonAnd it was reported to king David, saying, The Lord has blessed the house of Abeddara, and all that he has, because of the ark of the Lord. And David went, and brought up the ark of the Lord from the house of Abeddara to the city of David with gladness.

GreekΚαὶ ἀπηγγέλη τῷ βασιλεῖ Δαυὶδ, λέγοντες, εὐλόγησε Κύριος τὸν οἶκον Ἀβεδδαρὰ, καὶ πάντα τὰ αὐτοῦ, ἕνεκα τῆς κιβωτοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ· καὶ ἐπορεύθη Δαυὶδ, καὶ ἀνήγαγε τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ Κυρίου ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου Ἀβεδδαρὰ εἰς τὴν πόλιν Δαυὶδ ἐν εὐφροσύνῃ.

ThomsonNow there were with him seven choirs carrying the ark, and for a sacrifice a young bull and lambs.

BrentonAnd there were with him bearing the ark seven bands, and for a sacrifice a calf and lambs.

GreekΚαὶ ἦσαν μετʼ αὐτοῦ αἴροντες τὴν κιβωτὸν ἑπτὰ χοροὶ, καὶ θύμα μόσχος καὶ ἄρνες.

ThomsonAnd David played on well-tuned instruments of music before the Lord; and David having put on an unusual robe,

BrentonAnd David sounded with well-tuned instruments before the Lord, and David was clothed with a fine long robe.

GreekΚαὶ Δαυὶδ ἀνεκρούετο ἐν ὀργάνοις ἡρμοσμένοις ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, καὶ ὁ Δαυὶδ ἐνδεδυκὼς στολὴν ἔξαλλον.

Thomsonhe, and all the house of Israel, brought up the ark of the Lord, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.

BrentonAnd David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting, and with the sound of a trumpet.

GreekΚαὶ Δαυὶδ καὶ πᾶς ὁ οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ ἀνήγαγον τὴν κιβωτὸν Κυρίου μετὰ κραυγῆς καὶ μετὰ φωνῆς σάλπιγγος.

ThomsonAnd as the ark was entering the city of David, Melchol the daughter of Saul looked out at a window, and saw king David dancing, and playing before the Lord, and despised him in her heart.

BrentonAnd it came to pass as the ark arrived at the city of David, that Melchol the daughter of Saul looked through the window, and saw king David dancing and playing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart.

GreekΚαὶ ἐγένετο τῆς κιβωτοῦ παραγινομένης ἕως πόλεως Δαυίδ, καὶ Μελχὸλ ἡ θυγάτηρ Σαοὺλ διέκυπτε διὰ τῆς θυρίδος, καὶ εἶδε τὸν βασιλέα Δαυὶδ ὀρχούμενον, καὶ ἀνακρουόμενον ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, καὶ ἐξουδένωσεν αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῆς.

ThomsonSo they brought the ark of the Lord, and when they had set it in its place, in the middle of the tabernacle, which David had erected for it, David offered whole burnt offerings before the Lord, and peace offerings.

BrentonAnd they bring the ark of the Lord, and set it in its place in the midst of the tabernacle which David pitched for it: and David offered whole-burnt-offerings before the Lord, and peace-offerings.

GreekΚαὶ φέρουσι τὴν κιβωτὸν τοῦ Κυρίου, καὶ ἀνέθηκαν αὐτὴν εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτῆς εἰς μέσον τῆς σκηνῆς, ἧς ἔπηξεν αὐτῇ Δαυὶδ· καὶ ἀνήνεγκε Δαυιδ ὁλοκαυτώματα ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, εἰρηνικάς.

ThomsonAnd when David had made an end of offering the whole burnt offerings, and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of Hosts,

BrentonAnd David made an end of offering the whole-burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and blessed the people in the name of the Lord of Hosts.

GreekΚαὶ συνετέλεσε Δαυὶδ συναναφέρων τὰς ὁλοκαυτώσεις καὶ τὰς εἰρηνικὰς, καὶ εὐλόγησε τὸν λαὸν ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου τῶν δυνάμεων.

Thomsonand distributed to all the people through the whole host of Israel, from Dan to Bersabee, both to the men and women, to everyone a piece of bread, and a piece of roasted meat, and a sweet cake baked in the pan. Then all the people departed, everyone to his house,

BrentonAnd he distributed to all the people, even to all the host of Israel from Dan to Bersabee, both men and women, to every one a cake of bread, and a joint of meat, and a cake from the frying-pan: and all the people departed every one to his home.

GreekΚαὶ διεμέρισε παντὶ τῷ λαῷ εἰς πᾶσαν τὴν δύναμιν τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ Δὰν ἕως Βηρσαβεὲ, καὶ ἀπὸ ἀνδρὸς ἕως γυναικὸς, ἑκάστῳ κολλυρίδα ἄρτου, καὶ ἐσχαρίτην, καὶ λάγανον ἀπὸ τηγάνου· καὶ ἀπῆλθε πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἕκαστος εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ.

Thomsonand David returned to salute his household. And Melchol, the daughter of Saul, came out to meet David, and when she had saluted him, she said, How was the king of Israel glorified to-day in the eyes of his maid servants, disrobed as he was like one of the dancers!

BrentonAnd David returned to bless his house. And Melchol the daughter of Saul came out to meet David and saluted him, and said, How was the king of Israel glorified to-day, who was to-day uncovered in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the dancers wantonly uncovers himself!

GreekΚαὶ ἐπέστρεψε Δαυὶδ εὐλογῆσαι τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐξῆλθε Μελχὸλ ἡ θυγάτηρ Σαοὺλ εἰς ἀπάντησιν Δαυὶδ, καὶ εὐλόγησεν αὐτὸν, καὶ εἶπε, τί δεδόξασται σήμερον ὁ βασιλεὺς Ἰσραὴλ, ὃς ἀπεκαλύφθη σήμερον ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς παιδισκῶν τῶν δούλων ἑαυτοῦ, καθὼς ἀποκαλύπτεται ἀποκαλυφθεὶς εἷς τῶν ὀρχουμένων;

ThomsonWhereupon David said to Melchol, I will dance before the Lord. Blessed be the Lord, Who hath chosen me in preference to thy father, and in preference to all His house, to make me ruler over His people, over Israel. Wherefore I will play and dance before the Lord,

BrentonAnd David said to Melchol, I will dance before the Lord. Blessed be the Lord who chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to make me head over his people, even over Israel: therefore I will play, and dance before the Lord.

GreekΚαὶ εἶπε Δαυὶδ πρὸς Μελχόλ, ἐνώπιον Κυρίου ὀρχήσομαι· εὐλογητὸς Κύριος ὃς ἐξελέξατό με ὑπὲρ τὸν πατέρα σου καὶ ὑπὲρ πάντα τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ, του καταστῆσαί με εἰς ἡγούμενον ἐπὶ τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰσραὴλ·

Thomsonand I will again disrobe myself in the same manner, though I should be despicable in thy sight, and with the maidens, by whom thou hast intimated that I am not honoured.

BrentonAnd I will again uncover myself thus, and I will be vile in thine eyes, and with the maid-servants by whom thou saidst that I was not had in honour.

Greekκαὶ παίξομαι καὶ ὀρχήσομαι ἐνώπιον Κυρίου, καὶ ἀποκαλυφθήσομαι ἔτι οὕτως, καὶ ἔσομαι ἀχρεῖος ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς σου, καὶ μετὰ τῶν παιδισκῶν, ὧν εἶπάς με μὴ δοξασθῆναι.

ThomsonHence Melchol, the daughter of Saul, had no child to the day of her death.

BrentonAnd Melchol the daughter of Saul had no child till the day of her death.

GreekΚαὶ τῇ Μελχὸλ θυγατρὶ Σαοὺλ οὐκ ἐγένετο παιδίον ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας τοῦ ἀποθανεῖν αὐτήν.
