1 Chronicles 13:7-12

New International Version

⁷ They moved the ark of God from Abinadab’s^(A) house on a new cart, with Uzzah and Ahio guiding it. ⁸ David and all the Israelites were celebrating with all their might before God, with songs and with harps, lyres, timbrels, cymbals and trumpets.^(B)

⁹ When they came to the threshing floor of Kidon, Uzzah reached out his hand to steady the ark, because the oxen stumbled. ¹⁰ The Lord’s anger^(C) burned against Uzzah, and he struck him down^(D) because he had put his hand on the ark. So he died there before God.

¹¹ Then David was angry because the Lord’s wrath had broken out against Uzzah, and to this day that place is called Perez Uzzah.^[a](E)

¹² David was afraid of God that day and asked, “How can I ever bring the ark of God to me?”
