The Death of Uzzah
6
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 stumbled.
7
And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.
8
And David was displeased, because Jehovah had broken forth upon Uzzah; and he called that place Perez-uzzah, unto this day.
9
And David was afraid of Jehovah that day; and he said, How shall the ark of Jehovah come unto me?
10
So David would not remove the ark of Jehovah unto him into the city of David; but David carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
11
And the ark of Jehovah remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months: and Jehovah blessed Obed-edom, and all his house.
