⁶And David and all Israel went up to Baalah, Kiriath-Jearim of Judah, to bring up from there the ark of Yahweh God who is enthroned between the cherubim, which is called the name. ⁷And they carried the ark of God upon a new cart from the house of Abinadab, and Uzza and Ahio were driving the cart.

⁸Now David and all Israel were celebrating before God with all their strength, and with songs, lyres, harps, tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets. ⁹And when they came to the threshing floor of Kidon, Uzza reached out his hand to hold the ark because the cattle had stumbled. ¹⁰And Yahweh was angry^c with Uzza, and he struck him down because he reached his hand upon the ark. And he died there before God. ¹¹And David was angry^d because Yahweh had broken out in wrath against Uzza. And that place is called Perez Uzza unto this day. ¹²And David feared God on that day, saying, “How can I bring the ark of God home to me?” ¹³So David did not move the ark to himself into the city of David but diverted it to the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite. ¹⁴And the ark of God remained with the household of Obed-Edom in his house three months. And Yahweh blessed the household of Obed-Edom and all that he had.
