The Ark Brought to Jerusalem
1 Again David gathered all the choice men of Israel, thirty thousand.
2 And aDavid arose and went with all the people who were with him from1 Baale Judah to bring up from there the ark of God, whose name is called2 by the Name, the Lord of Hosts, bwho dwells between the cherubim.
3 So they set the ark of God on a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was on athe hill; and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.
4 And they brought it out of athe house of Abinadab, which was on the hill, accompanying the ark of God; and Ahio went before the ark.
5 Then David and all the house of Israel aplayed music before the Lord on all kinds of instruments of fir wood, on harps, on stringed instruments, on tambourines, on sistrums, and on cymbals.
6 And when they came to aNachon’s threshing floor, Uzzah put out his bhand to the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen stumbled.
7 Then the anger of the Lord was aroused against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his1 error; and he died there by the ark of God.
8 And David became angry because of the Lord’s outbreak against Uzzah; and he called the name of the place1 Perez Uzzah to this day.
