3
And let us bring again to us the ark of our God: for we inquired not at it in the days of Saul.
4
And all the congregation said that they would do so: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
5
So David assembled all Israel, from Shihor of Egypt even to the entrance of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjath-jearim.
6
And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, [that is], to Kirjath-jearim, which [belonged] to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the LORD, that dwelleth [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 Ahio drove the cart.
8
And David and all Israel played before God with all [their] might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.
9
And when they came to the threshing-floor 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 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: wherefore that place is called Perez-uzza 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 brought not the ark to himself to the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
