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

and Naaman, and Ahijah, and Gera, he carried them captive: and he begat 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 unto the threshing-floor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.

And the anger of Jehovah 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 Jehovah had broken forth upon Uzza; and he called that place Perez-uzza, unto this day.
