1 Chronicles 13:6-14 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

6. And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, to Kirjath-jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God of Jehovah, who sitteth between the cherubim, whose name is placed there.

7. And they carried the ark of God on a new cart out of the house of Abinadab; and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart.

8. And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing, and with harps, and with lutes, and with tambours, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.

9. And when they came to the threshing-floor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen had stumbled.

10. And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he had put forth his hand to the ark; and there he died before God

11. And David was indignant; for Jehovah had made a breach upon Uzza; and he called that place Perez-Uzza to this day.

12. And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God to me?

13. And David brought not the ark home unto himself into the city of David, but he carried it aside into the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.

14. And the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-Edom in his house three months. And Jehovah blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that he had.
