2 Samuel 6:5-14

5Meanwhile, David and all the house of Israel 1were celebrating before the Lord 2with all kinds of instruments made of 3fir wood, and with lyres, harps, tambourines, castanets and cymbals.

6But when they came to the 4threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah 5reached out toward the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen nearly upset it. 7And the anger of the Lord burned against Uzzah, and 6God struck him down there for 7his irreverence; and he died there by the ark of God. 8David became angry because 8of the Lord’s outburst against Uzzah, and that place is called 9Perez-uzzah to this day. 9So 10David was afraid of the Lord that day; and he said, “How can the ark of the Lord come to me?” 10And 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 11Obed-edom the Gittite. 11Thus the ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months, and the Lord 12blessed Obed-edom and all his household.

12Now it was told King David, saying, “The Lord has blessed the house of Obed-edom and all that belongs to him, on account of the ark of God.” 13David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into 14the city of David with gladness. 13And so it was, that when the 15bearers of the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, he sacrificed an 16ox and a fatling. 14And 17David was dancing before the Lord with all his might, and David was 1819wearing a linen ephod.
