6. Then he led them to Baalah in Judah, which was also called Kiriath-Jearim. They went there to get the sacred chest and bring it to Jerusalem, because it belonged to the Lord God, whose throne is above the winged creatures on the lid of the chest.
7. The sacred chest was still at Abinadab's house, and when David and the crowd arrived there, they brought the chest outside and placed it on a new ox cart. Abinadab's sons Uzzah and Ahio guided the cart,
8. while David and the crowd danced and sang praises to the Lord with all their might. They played music on small harps and other stringed instruments, and on tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets.
9. But when they came to Chidon's threshing place, the oxen stumbled, and Uzzah reached out and took hold of the chest to stop it from falling.
10. The Lord God was very angry at Uzzah for doing this, and he killed Uzzah there beside the chest.
11. David then got angry with God for killing Uzzah. So he named that place “Attack on Uzzah”, and it's been called that ever since.
12. David was afraid of what the Lord might do to him, and he asked himself, “Should I really be the one to take care of the sacred chest?”
