4 The entire assembly agreed to do so, for the proposal seemed right in the eyes of all the people.
5 So David assembled all Israel from the Shihor of Egypt to the entrance of Hamat, to bring the Ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.
6 David and all Israel went up to Baalah, to Kiriath-jearim, that was in Judah to bring up from there the Ark of God, Adonai who sits enthroned above the cheruvim, which is called by His Name.
7 They transported the Ark of God upon a new cart from the house of Abinadab. Uzza and Ahio guided the cart
8 while David and all Israel celebrated before God with all their might, with songs, lyres, harps, timbrels, cymbals and trumpets.
9 But when they came to the threshing-floor of Hidon, Uzza reached out his hand to hold the Ark, because the oxen stumbled.
