3. They loaded the ark of God on a new utility cart, and they carried it from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill. Now Uzza and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, were driving the new utility cart along.
4. So they brought it out from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill with the ark of God, and Ahio was going before the ark.
5. Now David and all the house of Israel were dancing before Yahweh, with all kinds of musical instruments made from ash trees, and with zithers, harps, tambourines, sistrums, and cymbals.
6. When they came to the threshing floor of Nakon, Uzza reached out to the ark of God and took hold of it, because the oxen had stumbled.
7. Then the anger of Yahweh was kindled against Uzza, and God struck him down there because of the indiscretion, and he died there beside the ark of God.
8. David was angry because Yahweh had burst out against Uzza, and he called that place Perez-Uzza until this day.
9. But David feared Yahweh on that day and said, “How can the ark of Yahweh come to me?”
10. However, David was not willing to bring the ark of Yahweh to himself, to the city of David, so David caused it to turn to the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.
