1 Chronicles 13:8-14 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

8. David and all Israel played before God with all their might, even with songs, with harps, with stringed instruments, with tambourines, with cymbals, and with shofars.

9. When they came to Chidon’s threshing floor, Uzza put out his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.

10. the Lord’s anger burnt against Uzza, and he struck him, because he put his hand on the ark; and he died there before God.

11. David was displeased, because the Lord had broken out against Uzza. He called that place Perez Uzza, to this day.

12. David was afraid of God that day, saying, “How can I bring God’s ark home to me?”

13. So David didn’t move the ark with him into David’s city, but carried it aside into Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house.

14. God’s ark remained with the family of Obed-Edom in his house three months; and the Lord blessed Obed-Edom’s house and all that he had.
