Context of 1 Chronicles 13:10

8Then David and all Israel played music before God with all their might, with singing, on harps, on stringed instruments, on tambourines, on cymbals, and with trumpets. 9And when they came to Chidon’s threshing floor, Uzza put out his hand to hold the ark, for the oxen stumbled. Then the anger of the Lord was aroused against Uzza, and He struck him because he put his hand to the ark; and he died there before God. 11And David became angry because of the Lord’s outbreak against Uzza; therefore that place is called Perez Uzza to this day. 12David was afraid of God that day, saying, “How can I bring the ark of God to me?”
