5
So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjathjearim.
6
And David went up with all Israel to Baalah,
that is, to Kirjathjearim, which is in Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God the LORD, who dwells
between the cherubim, whose name is called
on it.
7
And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab, and Uzza and his brother drove the cart.
8
And David and all Israel played before God with all
their might, with songs and with harps and with psalteries and with timbrels and with cymbals and with trumpets.
9
And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark, for the oxen stumbled.
10
And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him because he had put his hand to the ark, and there he died before God.
11
And David was displeased because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzza; therefore, that place is called Perezuzza to this day.
12
And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God
home to me?
13
So David did not bring the ark
home to himself to the city of David but carried it into the house of Obededom, the Gittite.
14
And the ark of God remained with the household of Obededom in his house three months. And the LORD blessed the household of Obededom and all that he had.
