2 Samuel 6:5-14

5And David and all the house of Israel played before Yhwh on all manner of instruments made of fir wood, even on harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals.

6And when they came to Nachon’s threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it.12 7And the anger of Yhwh was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.3 8And David was displeased, because Yhwh had made a breach upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perez–uzzah to this day.45 9And David was afraid of Yhwh that day, and said, How shall the ark of Yhwh come to me? 10So David would not remove the ark of Yhwh unto him into the city of David: but David carried it aside into the house of Obed–edom the Gittite. 11And the ark of Yhwh continued in the house of Obed–edom the Gittite three months: And Yhwh blessed Obed–edom, and all his household.

12And it was told king David, saying, Yhwh hath blessed the house of Obed–edom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed–edom into the city of David with gladness. 13And it was so, that when they that bare the ark of Yhwh had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings. 14And David danced before Yhwh with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.
