1 Chronicles 13:5–14

⁵So David assembled all Israel from the Shihor of Egypt to Lebo-hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.^{* 6}And David and all Israel went up to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath-jearim, which belongs to Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, the Lord, who is enthroned on the cherubim, which is called by his^p name.^{* 7}They carried the ark of God on a new cart from the house of Abinadab, and Uzzah and Ahio^q were driving the cart.^{* 8}David and all Israel were dancing before God with all their might, with songs and lyres and harps and tambourines and cymbals and trumpets.^*

⁹When they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzzah put out his hand to hold the ark, for the oxen lurched.^{* 10}The anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah; he struck him down because he put out his hand to the ark, and he died there before God.^{* 11}David was angry because the Lord had burst out against Uzzah, so that place is called Perez-uzzah^r to this day. ¹²David was afraid of God that day; he said, “How can I bring the ark of God into my care?” ¹³So David did not take the ark into his care into the city of David; he took it instead to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite. ¹⁴The ark of God remained with the household of Obed-edom in his house three months, and the Lord blessed the household of Obed-edom and all that he had.^*
