2 Samuel 6:2-11

2 And David ^{▼▼Lit arose and went}departed from ^{▼▼I.e., Kiriath-jearim
,} ^cBaale-judah, with all the people who were with him, to bring up from there the ark of God which is called by the ^dName, the very name of the Lord of armies who ^eis ^{▼▼Lit sitting}enthroned above the cherubim. 3 They had mounted the ark of God on ^ga new cart and moved it from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill; and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, were leading the new cart. 4 So ^hthey brought it with the ark of God from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill; and Ahio was walking ahead of the ark. 5 Meanwhile, David and all the house of Israel ⁱwere celebrating before the Lord ^jwith all kinds of instruments made of juniper wood, and with ^{▼▼Or zithers}lyres, harps, tambourines, castanets, and cymbals.

6 But when they came to the ^lthreshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah ^mreached out toward the ark of God and took hold of it, because the oxen nearly overturned it. 7 And the anger of the Lord burned against Uzzah, and ⁿGod struck him down there for ^{▼▼Lit the}his irreverence; and he died there by the ark of God. 8 Then David became angry because ^{▼▼Lit the Lord broke through a breakthrough}of the Lord’s outburst against Uzzah; and that place has been called ^{▼▼I.e., outburst against Uzzah}Perez-uzzah to this day. 9 So ^rDavid was afraid of the Lord that day; and he said, “How can the ark of the Lord come to me?” 10 And David was unwilling to move the ark of the Lord into the city of David with him; but David took it aside to the house of ^sObed-edom, the Gittite. 11 The ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite for three months, and the Lord ^tblessed Obed-edom and all his household.
