1 Chronicles 13:8-12

Common English Bible

⁸ while David and all Israel celebrated in God’s presence with all their strength, accompanied by songs, zithers, harps, tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets. ⁹ When they came to Chidon’s threshing floor, Uzzah reached out to the chest and grabbed it because the oxen had stumbled. ¹⁰ But the Lord became angry with Uzzah and struck him because he had placed his hand on the chest. He died right there before God. ¹¹ David was angry that the Lord lashed out at Uzzah; and so that place is still called Perez-uzzah today. ¹² David was frightened by God that day. “How will I ever bring God’s chest home to me?” he asked.
