2 Samuel 6:5-7
Common English Bible
5 Meanwhile, David and the entire house of Israel celebrated in the Lord’s presence with all their strength, with songs,[a] zithers, harps, tambourines, rattles, and cymbals.
6 When they approached Nacon’s threshing floor, Uzzah reached out to God’s chest and grabbed it because the oxen had stumbled.[b] 7 The Lord became angry at Uzzah, and God struck him there because of his mistake,[c] and he died there next to God’s chest.
