Uzzah and the Ark
5 aSo David assembled all Israel bfrom the cNile ▼▼Hebrew Shihor
of Egypt to Lebo-hamath, to bring the ark of God efrom Kiriath-jearim. 6 fAnd David and all Israel went up to gBaalah, that is, to Kiriath-jearim that belongs to Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the name of the Lord who hsits enthroned above the cherubim. 7And they carried the ark of God on a new cart, from the house of iAbinadab, and Uzzah and Ahio ▼▼Or and his brother
were driving the cart. 8And David and all Israel were celebrating before God with all their might, with song and klyres and harps and tambourines and cymbals and trumpets. 9And when they came to the threshing floor of lChidon, Uzzah put out his hand to take hold of the ark, for the oxen stumbled. 10And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah, and he struck him down mbecause he put out his hand to the ark, and nhe died there before God. 11And David was angry because the Lord had broken out against Uzzah. And that place is called Perez-uzza ▼
▼ Perez-uzza means the breaking out against Uzzah
to this day. 12And David was afraid of God that day, and he said, “How can I bring the ark of God home to me?” 13So David did not take the ark home into the city of David, but took it aside to the house pof Obed-edom the Gittite. 14And the ark of God remained with the household of Obed-edom in his house three months. qAnd the Lord blessed the household of Obed-edom and all that he had.
