1 Chronicles 13:8-14

8 And David and all Israel played before God with all their might with hymns, and with harps, and with psalteries, and timbrels, and cymbals, and trumpets,
9 And when they came to the floor of Chidon, Oza put forth his hand, to hold up the ark: for the ox being wanton had made it lean a little on one side.
10 And the Lord was angry with Oza, and struck him, because he had touched the ark; and he died there before the Lord.
11 And David was troubled because the Lord had divided Oza: and he called that place the Breach of Oza to this day.
12 And he feared God at that time, saying: How can I bring in the ark of God to me?
13 And therefore he brought it not home to himself, that is, into the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gethite.
14 And the ark of God remained in the house of Obededom three months: and the Lord blessed his house, and all that he had.
