The sons of Merari; Mahli, Libni his son, Shimei his son, Uzza his son,

And Naaman, and Ahiah, and Gera, he removed them, and begat Uzza, and Ahihud.

And they carried the ark of God in a new cart 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 the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God.

And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perez-uzza to this day.
