1 Chronicles 13:6

4 Then all the assembly said that they would do so, for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.

5 So ^aDavid gathered all Israel together, from ^bShihor in Egypt to as far as the entrance of Hamath, to bring the ark of God ^cfrom Kirjath Jearim.

6 And David and all Israel went up to ^aBaalah, to Kirjath Jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God the Lord, ^bwho dwells between the cherubim, where His name is proclaimed.

7 So they¹ carried the ark of God ^aon a new cart ^bfrom the house of Abinadab, and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart.

8 Then ^aDavid and all Israel played music before God with all their might, with¹ singing, on harps, on stringed instruments, on tambourines, on cymbals, and with trumpets.

9 And when they came to¹ Chidon’s threshing floor, Uzza put out his hand to hold the ark, for the oxen² stumbled.

10 Then the anger of the Lord was aroused against Uzza, and He struck him ^abecause he put his hand to the ark; and he ^bdied there before God.

11 And David became angry because of the Lord’s outbreak against Uzza; therefore that place is called¹ 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 would not move the ark with him into the City of David, but took it aside into the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.

14 ^aThe ark of God remained with the family of Obed-Edom in his house three months. And the Lord blessed ^bthe house of Obed-Edom and all that he had.
