1 Again, David gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
2 And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him from Ba´ale of Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, whose name is called by the name of the Lord of hosts that dwelleth between the cherubim.
3 And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abin´adab that was in Gib´e-ah: and Uzzah and Ahi´o, the sons of Abin´adab, drave the new cart.
4 And they brought it out of the house of Abin´adab which was at Gib´e-ah, accompanying the ark of God: and Ahi´o went before the ark.
5 And David and all the house of Israel played before the Lord on 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 error; and there he died by the ark of God.
