7. They moved God’s chest on a new cart from Abinadab’s house. Uzzah and Ahio were guiding the cart,
8. while David and all Israel celebrated in God’s presence with all their strength, accompanied by songs, zithers, harps, tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets.
9. When they came to Chidon’s threshing floor, Uzzah reached out to the chest and grabbed it because the oxen had stumbled.
10. But the Lord became angry with Uzzah and struck him because he had placed his hand on the chest. He died right there before God.
11. David was angry that the Lord lashed out at Uzzah; and so that place is still called Perez-uzzah today.
12. David was frightened by God that day. "How will I ever bring God’s chest home to me?" he asked.
13. So David didn’t take the chest away with him to David’s City. Instead, he had it put in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
14. God’s chest stayed with Obed-edom’s household for three months, and the Lord blessed Obed-edom’s household and all that he had.
