6Then they came to the athreshing floor of Nacon. And 1Uzzah breached out toward the ark of God and took hold of it, because the oxen nearly upset it. 7And the anger of Yahweh burned against Uzzah, and aGod struck him down there for 1his irreverence; and he died there by the ark of God. 8And David became angry because 1of Yahweh’s breaking out against Uzzah; and that place is called 2Perez-uzzah to this day. 9So aDavid was afraid of Yahweh that day; and he said, “How can the ark of Yahweh come to me?” 10And David was unwilling to move the ark of Yahweh into the city of David with him; but David took it aside to the house of aObed-edom the Gittite. 11Thus the ark of Yahweh remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months, and Yahweh ablessed Obed-edom and all his household.
