1 Chronicles 13:5-14

5 ^aSo David assembled all Israel together, from the Shihor of Egypt even to the entrance of Hamath, ^bto bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim. 6 ^cDavid and all Israel went up to ^dBaalah, that is, to Kiriath-jearim, which belongs to Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, the Lord ^ewho is enthroned above the cherubim, where His name is called. 7 They ^{▼▼ Lit caused to ride}carried the ark of God on a new cart from ^gthe house of Abinadab, and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart. 8 David and all Israel were celebrating before God with all their might, ^heven with songs and with lyres, harps, tambourines, cymbals and with trumpets.

9 When they came to ⁱthe threshing floor of Chidon, Uzza put out his hand to hold the ark, because the oxen nearly upset it. 10 The anger of the Lord burned against Uzza, so He struck him down ^jbecause he put out his hand to the ark; ^kand he died there before God. 11 Then David became angry because ^{▼▼ Lit the Lord had broken through a breakthrough}of the Lord’s outburst against Uzza; and he called that place ^{▼▼ I.e. the breakthrough of Uzza}Perez-uzza to this day. 12 David was afraid of God that day, saying, “How can I bring the ark of God home to me?” 13 So David did not take the ark with him to the city of David, but took it aside ⁿto the house of Obed-edom the Gittite. 14 Thus the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house three months; and ^othe Lord blessed the family of Obed-edom with all that he had.
