2 Samuel 6:1-8

11Now DavidH1732 againH5750 gatheredH622 allH3605 the chosenH977 men of IsraelH3478, thirtyH7970 thousandH505. 2And DavidH1732 2departedH6965H1980 from 34Baale-judahH1184, with allH3605 the peopleH5971 whoH834 were with him, to bringH5927 upH5927 from thereH8033 the arkH727 of GodH430 whichH834 is calledH7121 by the 5NameH8034, the very nameH8034 of the LordH3068 of armiesH6635 who 6is 7enthronedH3427 above the cherubimH3742. 3They had mountedH7392 the arkH727 of GodH430 on 8a newH2319 cartH5699 and movedH5375 it from the houseH1004 of AbinadabH41, whichH834 was on the hillH1389; and UzzahH5798 and AhioH283, the sonsH1121 of AbinadabH41, were leadingH5090 the newH2319 cartH5699. 4So 9they broughtH5375 it with the arkH727 of GodH430 from the houseH1004 of AbinadabH41, whichH834 was on the hillH1389; and AhioH283 was walkingH1980 aheadH6440 of the arkH727. 5Meanwhile, DavidH1732 and allH3605 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 10were celebratingH7832 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 11with allH3605 kinds of instruments made of juniperH1265 woodH6086, and with 12lyresH3658, harpsH5035, tambourinesH8596, castanetsH4517, and cymbalsH6767.

6But when they cameH935 to the 13threshingH1637 floorH1637 of NaconH5225, UzzahH5798 14reachedH7971 outH7971 towardH413 the arkH727 of GodH430 and tookH270 holdH270 of it, becauseH3588 the oxenH1241 nearly overturnedH8058 it. 7And the angerH639 of the LordH3068 burnedH2734 against UzzahH5798, and 15GodH430 struckH5221 him down thereH8033 for 16his irreverenceH7944; and he diedH4191 thereH8033 by the arkH727 of GodH430. 8Then DavidH1732 becameH2734 angryH2734 becauseH5921H834 17of the Lord’sH3068 outburstH6555H6556 against UzzahH5798; and that placeH4725 has been calledH7121 18Perez-uzzahH6560 to thisH2088 dayH3117.
