3 so that we may bring the chest of our God back to us, because we didn’t look for it in Saul’s days."
4 The whole assembly agreed to do so, because all the people thought it was the right thing to do.
5 So David assembled all Israel, from the border of Egypt to Lebo-hamath in order to bring up God’s chest from Kiriath-jearim.
6 Then David and all Israel went up toward Baalah, to Kiriath-jearim, which belongs to Judah, to bring up from there the chest of God, the Lord, who sits enthroned on the winged creatures, where he is called by name.
7 They moved God’s chest on a new cart from Abinadab’s house. Uzzah and Ahio were guiding the cart,
8 while David and all Israel celebrated in God’s presence with all their strength, accompanied by songs, zithers, harps, tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets.
9 When they came to Chidon’s threshing floor, Uzzah reached out to the chest and grabbed it because the oxen had stumbled.
