1 Chronicles 13:7-14 ▼

7 They carried the ark of God on a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart.

8 David and all Israel played before God with all their might, even with songs, and with harps, and with stringed instruments, and with tambourines, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.

9 When they came to the threshing floor of Nodan, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.

10 The anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he struck him, because he put forth his hand to the ark; and there he died before God.

11 David was displeased, because the LORD had broken forth on Uzza; and he called that place Perez Uzza, to this day.

12 David was afraid of God that day, saying, |How can I bring the ark of God to me?|

13 So David did not move the ark to him into the City of David, but diverted it to the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.

14 The ark of God remained with the family of Obed-Edom in his house three months: and the LORD blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that he had.
