6. As they reached the threshing floor of Nodan, Uzzah stretched out his hand to the ark of God and steadied it, for the oxen were tipping it.
7. Then the Lord became angry with Uzzah; God struck him on that spot, and he died there in God’s presence.
8. David was angry because the Lord’s wrath had broken out against Uzzah. Therefore that place has been called Perez-uzzah even to this day.
9. David became frightened of the Lord that day, and he said, “How can the ark of the Lord come to me?”
10. So David was unwilling to take the ark of the Lord with him into the City of David. David deposited it instead at the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
