Old Testament

New Testament

1 Chronicles 13:9-14 New Century Version (NCV)

9. When David’s men came to the threshing floor of Kidon, the oxen stumbled, and Uzzah reached out his hand to steady the Ark.

10. The Lord was angry with Uzzah and killed him, because he had touched the Ark. So Uzzah died there in the presence of God.

11. David was angry because the Lord had punished Uzzah in his anger. Now that place is called The Punishment of Uzzah.

12. David was afraid of God that day and asked, “How can I bring the Ark of God home to me?”

13. So David did not take the Ark with him to Jerusalem. Instead, he took it to the house of Obed-Edom who was from Gath.

14. The Ark of God stayed with Obed-Edom’s family in his house for three months, and the Lord blessed Obed-Edom’s family and everything he owned.
