And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in [a]the hill: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart. And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was in [b]the hill, with the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark. And David and all the house of Israel played before Jehovah with all manner of instruments made of [c]fir-wood, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with [d]castanets, and with cymbals.

And when they came to the threshing-floor of Nacon, Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen [e]stumbled. And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his [f]error; and there he died by the ark of God. And David was displeased, because Jehovah had broken forth upon Uzzah; and he called that place [g]Perez-uzzah, unto this day.
