2 And David arose and went with all the people who were with him toa I.e. Kiriath-jearimBaale-judah, to bring up from there the ark of God which is called by the Name, the very name of the LORD of hosts who isb Lit sittingenthroned above the cherubim. 3 Theyc Lit caused to rideplaced the ark of God on a new cart that they might bring it from the house of Abinadab which was on the hill; and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, were leading the new cart. 4 So they brought it with the ark of God from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill; and Ahio was walking ahead of the ark. 5 Meanwhile, David and all the house of Israel were celebrating before the LORD with all kinds of instruments made ofd Or cypressfir wood, and with lyres, harps, tambourines, castanets and cymbals.
6 But when they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached out toward the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen nearly upset it. 7 And the anger of the LORD burned against Uzzah, and God struck him down there fore Lit thehis irreverence; and he died there by the ark of God. 8 David became angry becausef Lit the Lord broke through a breakthroughof the LORD’S outburst against Uzzah, and that place is calledg I.e. the breakthrough of UzzahPerez-uzzah to this day. 9 So David was afraid of the LORD that day; and he said, “How can the ark of the LORD come to me?” 10 And David was unwilling to move the ark of the LORD into the city of David with him; but David took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite. 11 Thus the ark of the LORD remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months, and the LORD blessed Obed-edom and all his household.
