1 Chronicles 13:9 In-Context

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.
