1David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
2David arose, and went with all the people who were with him, from Baale-judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the Name, even the name of Yahweh of Hosts who sits [above] the cherubim.
3They set the ark of God on a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in the hill: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.
4They brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was in the hill, with the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark.
5David and all the house of Israel played before Yahweh with all manner of [instruments made of] fir-wood, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with tambourines, and with castanets, and with cymbals.
6When they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah put forth [his hand] to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen stumbled.
7The anger of Yahweh was kindled against Uzzah; and God struck him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.
