[13:5] So David assembled all Israel from the Nile of Egypt to Lebo-Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-Jearim.
[13:6] And David and all Israel went up to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath-Jearim that belongs to Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the name of the Lord who sits enthroned above the cherubim.
[13:7] And they carried the ark of God on a new cart, from the house of Abinadab, and Uzzah and Ahio were driving the cart.
[13:8] And David and all Israel were celebrating before God with all their might, with song and lyres and harps and tambourines and cymbals and trumpets.
[13:9] And when they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzzah put out his hand to take hold of the ark, for the oxen stumbled.
[13:10] And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah, and he struck him down because he put out his hand to the ark, and he died there before God.
[13:11] And David was angry because the Lord had broken out against Uzzah. And that place is called Perez-Uzza to this day.
[13:12] And David was afraid of God that day, and he said, “How can I bring the ark of God home to me?”
[13:13] So David did not take the ark home into the city of David, but took it aside to the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.
[13:14] And the ark of God remained with the household of Obed-Edom in his house three months. And the Lord blessed the household of Obed-Edom and all that he had.
