2 Samuel 6:5-14

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 1God, and took hold of it; for the oxen had stumbled.

7And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Uzzah; and 2God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of 3God.

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.

12And it was told king David, saying, Jehovah has blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that is his, because of the ark of 4God. And David went and brought up the ark of 5God from the house of Obed-Edom into the city of David with joy.

13And it was so, that when they that bore the ark of Jehovah had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fatted beast.

14And David danced before Jehovah with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.
