1 Chronicles 13:1-9

1
David consulted with the captains of thousands and of hundreds, even with every leader.
2
David said to all the assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if it is of the LORD our God, let us send abroad everywhere to our brothers who are left in all Eretz-Israel, with whom the priests and Levites are in their cities that have suburbs, that they may gather themselves to us;
3
and let us bring again the ark of our God to us. For we didn’t seek it in the days of Saul.”
4
All the assembly said that they would do so; for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
5
So David assembled all Israel together, from the Shihor the brook of Egypt even to the entrance of Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath Jearim.
6
David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath Jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God the LORD that sits above the cherubim, that is called by the Name.
7
They carried the ark of God on a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart.
8
David and all Israel played before God with all their might, even with songs, and with harps, and with stringed instruments, and with tambourines, and with cymbals, and with shofars.
9
When they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzza put out his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.
