4And Uzzah went by the side of the ark, while Ahio went before it.
5And David and all the men of Israel made melody before the Lord with all their power, with songs and with corded instruments and instruments of brass.
6And when they came to Nacon's grain-floor, Uzzah put his hand on the ark of God to keep it safe in its place, for the oxen were out of control.
7And the wrath of the Lord, burning against Uzzah, sent destruction on him because he had put his hand on the ark, and death came to him there by the ark of God.
8And David was angry because of the Lord's outburst of wrath against Uzzah: and he gave that place the name Perez-uzzah, which is its name to this day.
9And such was David's fear of the Lord that day, that he said, How may I let the ark of God come to me?
10So David did not let the ark of the Lord come back to him to the town of David: but had it turned away and put into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
