2 Samuel 6:5-15 - Uzzah And The Ark

⁵ And, David and all the house of Israel, were dancing for joy before Yahweh, with all boldness and with songs, - and with lyres, and with harps, and with timbrels, and with sistrums, and with cymbals.

⁶ And, when they came as far as the threshing-floor of Nachon, Uzzah thrust forth his hand unto the ark of God, and took hold of it, for the oxen were restive. ⁷ Then was kindled the anger of Yahweh, against Uzzah, and God smote him there, for the error, - so that he died there, by the ark of God. ⁸ And it was a sadness unto David, for that Yahweh had broken in with a breach against Uzzah, - therefore called he that place, Perez-uzzah as it is called until this day. ⁹ And David was afraid of Yahweh, on that day, - and said, How can the ark of Yahweh come unto me? ¹⁰ So David would not remove unto him the ark of Yahweh, unto the city of David, - but David took it aside to the house of Obed-edom, the Gittite. ¹¹ And the ark of Yahweh abode in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite, three months, - and Yahweh blessed Obed -edom, and all his household.

¹² And it was told King David, saying, Yahweh hath blessed the household of Obed-edom, and all that he hath, because of the ark of God. David therefore went and brought up the ark of God, out of the house of Obed-edom, unto the city of David, with rejoicing. ¹³ And so it was that, when they who bare the ark of Yahweh had stepped forward six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a heifer. ¹⁴ And, David, was dancing with all boldness before Yahweh, - David, being girt with an ephod of linen. ¹⁵ So, David and all the house of Israel, were bringing up the ark of Yahweh, - with triumphant shoutings, and with the sound of a horn.
