9 And when they came to the threshing floor of Kidon, Uzza reached out his hand to hold the ark because the cattle had stumbled.

11 And David {was angry} because Yahweh had broken out in wrath against Uzza. And that place is called Perez Uzza unto this day.

12 And David feared God on that day, saying, "How can I bring the ark of God [home] to me?"

13 So David did not move the ark to himself into the city of David but diverted it to the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.
