8
David and all the Israelites were celebrating in the presence of God. With all their strength they were singing and playing lyres, harps, tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets.
9
When David's men came to the threshing floor of Kidon, the oxen stumbled, and Uzzah reached out his hand to steady the Ark.
10
The Lord was angry with Uzzah and killed him, because he had touched the Ark. So Uzzah died there in the presence of God.
11
David was angry because the Lord had punished Uzzah in his anger. Now that place is called The Punishment of Uzzah.
12
David was afraid of God that day and asked, "How can I bring the Ark of God home to me?"
