2 Samuel 6:2–11

²And ^aDavid arose, and went with all the people that were with him from Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, whose name is called by the name of the Lord of hosts ^bthat dwelleth between the cherubims. ³And they set the ark of God ^cupon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart. ⁴And they brought it out of ^dthe house of Abinadab which was at Gibeah, accompanying the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark. ⁵And David and all the house of Israel played before the Lord on all manner of instruments made of fir wood, ^eeven on harps, and on psalteries, and ^fon timbrels, and on cornets, and ^gon cymbals. ⁶And when they came to Nachon’s threshingfloor, Uzzah ^hput forth ⁱhis hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it. ⁷And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah; and ^jGod smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God. ⁸And David was displeased, because the Lord had made a breach upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perez-uzzah to this day. ⁹And David was afraid of the Lord that day, and said, ^kHow shall the ark of the Lord come to me? ¹⁰So David would not remove the ark of the Lord unto him into the city of David: but David carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom ^lthe Gittite. ¹¹And the ark of the Lord continued in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months: and ^mthe Lord blessed Obed-edom, and all his household.
