2 Samuel 6:1-11

Bible Text

[1] David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand. [2] David arose, and went with all the people who were with him, from Baale Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the Name, even the name of Yahweh of Hosts who sits [above] the cherubim. [3] They set the ark of God on a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in the hill: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart. [4] They brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was in the hill, with the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark. [5] David and all the house of Israel played before Yahweh with all manner of [instruments made of] fir-wood, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with tambourines, and with castanets, and with cymbals. [6] When they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah put forth [his hand] to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen stumbled. [7] The anger of Yahweh was kindled against Uzzah; and God struck him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God. [8] David was displeased, because Yahweh had broken forth on Uzzah; and he called that place Perez Uzzah, to this day. [9] David was afraid of Yahweh that day; and he said, How shall the ark of Yahweh come to me? [10] So David would not remove the ark of Yahweh to him into the city of David; but David carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite. [11] The ark of Yahweh remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months: and Yahweh blessed Obed-edom, and all his house.
