2 Samuel 6:5-7
Lexham English Bible
5 Now David and all the house of Israel were dancing before Yahweh, with all kinds of musical instruments made from ash trees, and with zithers, harps, tambourines, sistrums, and cymbals. 6 When they came to the threshing floor of Nakon, Uzza reached out to the ark of God and took hold of it, because the oxen had stumbled. 7 Then the anger of Yahweh was kindled[a] against Uzza, and God struck him down there because of the indiscretion,[b] and he died there beside the ark of God.
