5 ^sSo David ^tassembled all Israel from the Nile¹ of Egypt to Lebo-hamath, to bring the ark of God ^ufrom Kiriath-jearim. 6 And David and all Israel went up to ^vBaalah, that is, to Kiriath-jearim that belongs to Judah, to bring up from there the ^wark of God, ^xwhich is called by the name of the Lord ^ywho sits enthroned above the cherubim. 7 And they carried the ark of God ^zon a new cart, from the house of Abinadab, and Uzzah and Ahio² were driving the cart. 8 And David and all Israel were celebrating before God with all their might, with song and ^alyres and harps and tambourines and cymbals and trumpets.

9 And when they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzzah put out his hand to ^btake hold of the ark, for the oxen stumbled. 10 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah, and he ^cstruck him down because he put out his hand to the ark, and he ^ddied there before God.
