2 Samuel 6:6
Verse 6 of 23. The 6th of 24 chapters in 2 Samuel, in History.
2David arose and went with all the people who were with him from Baale Judah, to bring up from there God’s ark, which is called by the Name, even the name of the LORD of Armies who sits above the cherubim.
3They set God’s ark on a new cart, and brought it out of Abinadab’s house that was on the hill; and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.
4They brought it out of Abinadab’s house which was in the hill, with God’s ark; and Ahio went before the ark.
5David and all the house of Israel played before the LORD with all kinds of instruments made of cypress wood, with harps, with stringed instruments, with tambourines, with castanets, and with cymbals.
6When they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached for God’s ark and took hold of it, for the cattle stumbled.
7The LORD’s anger burned against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his error; and he died there by God’s ark.
8David was displeased because the LORD had broken out against Uzzah; and he called that place Perez Uzzah to this day.
9David was afraid of the LORD that day; and he said, “How could the LORD’s ark come to me?”
10So David would not move the LORD’s ark to be with him in David’s city; but David carried it aside into Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house.
