2 Samuel 6:2-11

2And David arose and went with all the people that were with him from Baale-Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of 1God which is called by the name, the name of Jehovah of hosts who sitteth between the cherubim.

3And they set the ark of 2God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was upon the hill; and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.

4And they brought it with the ark of 3God out of the house of Abinadab which was upon the hill; and Ahio went before the ark.

5And David and all the house of Israel played before Jehovah on all manner of [instruments made of] cypress wood, with harps, and with lutes, and with tambours, and with sistra, and with cymbals.

6And when they came to Nachon's threshing-floor, Uzzah reached after the ark of 4God, and took hold of it; for the oxen had stumbled.

7And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Uzzah; and 5God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of 6God.

8And David was indignant, because Jehovah had made a breach upon Uzzah; and he called that place Perez-Uzzah to this day.

9And David was afraid of Jehovah that day, and said, How shall the ark of Jehovah come to me?

10So David would not bring the ark of Jehovah home unto himself into the city of David; but David carried it aside into the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.

11And the ark of Jehovah remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite three months; and Jehovah blessed Obed-Edom and all his household.
