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 became the father of Uzza and Ahihud.

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.

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

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

David was displeased, because the LORD had broken forth on Uzza; and he called that place Perez Uzza, to this day.
