New Testament

2 Samuel 6:4-9 Amplified Bible (AMP)

4. And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill, with the ark of God; and Ahio went before the ark.

5. And David and all the house of Israel played before the Lord with all their might, with songs, lyres, harps, tambourines, castanets, and cymbals.

6. And when they came to Nacon's threshing floor, Uzzah put out his hand to the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen stumbled and shook it.

7. And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for touching the ark, and he died there by the ark of God.

8. David was grieved and offended because the Lord had broken forth upon Uzzah, and that place is called Perez-uzzah [the breaking forth upon Uzzah] to this day.

9. David was afraid of the Lord that day and said, How can the ark of the Lord come to me?
