1 Chronicles 13:7-11 ▼

7 They transported the ark of God on a new cart from the house of Abinadab; Uzzah and Ahio were guiding the cart,

8 while David and all Israel danced before God with all their might, with singing, and with lyres, harps, tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets.

9 As they reached the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzzah stretched out his hand to steady the ark, for the oxen were tipping it.

10 Then the LORD became angry with Uzzah and struck him, because he had laid his hand on the ark; he died there in God’s presence.

11 David was angry because the LORD’s anger had broken out against Uzzah. Therefore that place has been called Perez-uzzah even to this day.
