3 And they carried the ark of God [1 Sam. 6:7] on a new cart and brought it [1 Sam. 7:1]out of the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill. And Uzzah and Ahio,6:3 Or and his brother; also verse 4 the sons of Abinadab, were driving the new cart,
6 And when they came to the threshing floor of [1 Chr. 13:9] Nacon, Uzzah [Num. 4:15;1 Chr. 15:2]put out his hand to the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen stumbled. 7 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah, and [1 Sam. 6:19]God struck him down there because of his error, and he died there beside the ark of God. 9 And David was afraid of the Lord that day, and he said, "How can the ark of the Lord come to me?" 10 So David was not willing to take the ark of the Lord into the city of David. But David took it aside [1 Chr. 15:25]to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite. 11 And the ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months, 1 Chr. 26:5and the Lord blessed Obed-edom and all his household.
