3 They loaded God’s chest on a new cart and carried it from Abinadab’s house, which was on the hill. Uzzah and Ahio, Abinadab’s sons, were driving the new cart.
4 Uzzah was beside God’s chest while Ahio was walking in front of it.
5 Meanwhile, David and the entire house of Israel celebrated in the Lord’s presence with all their strength, with songs, zithers, harps, tambourines, rattles, and cymbals.
6 When they approached Nacon’s threshing floor, Uzzah reached out to God’s chest and grabbed it because the oxen had stumbled.
7 The Lord became angry at Uzzah, and God struck him there because of his mistake, and he died there next to God’s chest.
8 Then David got angry because the Lord’s anger lashed out against Uzzah, and so that place is called Perez-uzzah today.
9 David was frightened by the Lord that day. "How will I ever bring the Lord’s chest to me?" he asked.
