3 They set the ark of God on a new cart and transported it from Abinadab’s house, which was on the hill. Uzzah and Ahio, 6:3 Or And his brothers sons of Abinadab, were guiding the cart 6:3 1Ch 15:2,12–15
6 When they came to Nacon’s threshing floor, Uzzah reached out to the ark of God and took hold of it because the oxen had stumbled. 7 Then the Lord’s anger burned against Uzzah, 6:7 Ex 25:14; Nm 4:5,15,20 and God struck him dead on the spot for his irreverence, 6:7 1Sm 6:19–20 and he died there next to the ark of God. 9 David feared the Lord that day and said, "How can the ark of the Lord ever come to me? " 10 So he was not willing to bring the ark of the Lord to the city of David; 6:10 Lk 2:4 instead, he diverted it to the house of Obed-edom of Gath. 11 The ark of the Lord remained in his house three months, and the Lord blessed Obed-edom 6:11 1Ch 26:4–8 and his whole family.
