5. David and all the Israelites were dancing and singing with all their might to honour the Lord. They were playing harps, lyres, drums, rattles, and cymbals.
6. As they came to the threshing place of Nacon, the oxen stumbled, and Uzzah reached out and took hold of the Covenant Box.
7. At once the Lord God became angry with Uzzah and killed him because of his irreverence. Uzzah died there beside the Covenant Box,
8. and so that place has been called Perez Uzzah ever since. David was furious because the Lord had punished Uzzah in anger.
9. Then David was afraid of the Lord and said, “How can I take the Covenant Box with me now?”
