1 Again, David gathered together all the chosen of Israel, thirty thousand.
2 And David arose and went with all the people that were with him from Baale of Judah to bring up from there the ark of God upon which the name of the Lord of the hosts is invoked, who dwells there between the cherubim.
3 And they set the ark of God upon a new cart and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah, and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab drove the new cart.
4 And when they brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was at Gibeah, with the ark of God, Ahio went before the ark.
5 And David and all the house of Israel danced before the Lord with all manner of instruments made of fir wood, even on harps and on psalteries and on timbrels and on cornets and on cymbals.
6 And when they came to Nachon’s threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen shook it.
7 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah, and God smote him there for his effrontery, and there he died by the ark of God.
