2 Samuel 6:2-9

Leeser(i) 2 And David arose, and went with all the people who were with him from Ba’ale-yehudah, to bring up from there the ark of God, the name of which was called by the name of the Lord of hosts, that dwelleth over the cherubim. 3 And they conveyed the ark of God in a new wagon, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was on the hill; and ‘Uzzah and Achyo, the sons of Abinadab, guided the new wagon. 4 When they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which was on the hill, they were near the ark of God; but Achyo went before the ark. 5 And David and all the house of Israel played before the Lord on all manner of instruments made of fir-wood, and on harps, and on psalteries, and on tambourines, and with bells, and with cymbals. 6 And when they came to the threshing-floor of Nachon, ‘Uzzah put forth his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook it. 7 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against ‘Uzzah; and God smote him there for the error; and he died there by the ark of God. 8 And it was grievous to David, because the Lord had suddenly taken away ‘Uzzah; and he called that place Perez-’uzzah [Breach of ‘Uzzah] until this day. 9 And David was afraid of the Lord on that day, and said, How shall the ark of the Lord come to me?
