1 Chronicles 13:11 In-Context

9 When they were at the threshing floor of Kidon, the oxen stumbled and Uzzah grabbed the Chest to keep it from falling off.

10 God erupted in anger against Uzzah and killed him because he grabbed the Chest. He died on the spot - in the presence of God.

11 David lost his temper, angry because God exploded against Uzzah; the place is still called Perez Uzzah (Exploded Uzzah).

12 David was terrified of God that day; he said, "How can I possibly continue this parade with the Chest of God?"

13 So David called off the parade of the Chest to the City of David; instead he stored it in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.
