The sons of Merari: Mahli, Libni his son, Shimei his son, Uzzah his son,

Naaman, and Ahijah, and Gera. He carried them captive, and he begot Uzza and Ahihud.

And they carried the ark of God upon a new cart, [and brought it] out of the house of Abinadab. And Uzza and Ahio drove the cart.

And when they came to the threshing-floor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark, for the oxen stumbled.

And the anger of LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him because he put forth his hand to the ark. And there he died before God.

And David was displeased, because LORD had broken forth upon Uzza. And he called that place Perez-uzza, to this day.
