2 Samuel 6:7-9
EasyEnglish Bible

7 The Lord was very angry with Uzzah because he did not respect God's rules.[a] He immediately knocked Uzzah down to the ground. Uzzah died there, beside the Covenant Box.

8 David was angry because the Lord had punished Uzzah. So he called that place ‘Perez Uzzah’. That is still its name today.[b]

9 So David now became afraid of the Lord. He said, ‘The Lord's Covenant Box is too holy to come with me!’
