1 Chronicles 13:9-14 ▼

9 When they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzza put out his hand to hold the ark, because the oxen nearly overturned it.

10 But the anger of the LORD burned against Uzza, so He struck him because he had put out his hand toward the ark; and he died there before God.

11 Then David became angry because of the LORD’S outburst against Uzza; and he called that place Perez-uzza as it is to this day.

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

13 So David did not take the ark with him to the city of David, but took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

14 And the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house for three months; and the LORD blessed the family of Obed-edom and all that he had.
