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.
