1. And David again gathered all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
2. And David arose and went with all the people that were with him from Baale-Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God which is called by the name, the name of Jehovah of hosts who sitteth between the cherubim.
3. And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was upon the hill; and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.
4. And they brought it with the ark of God out of the house of Abinadab which was upon the hill; and Ahio went before the ark.
5. And David and all the house of Israel played before Jehovah on all manner of instruments made of cypress wood, with harps, and with lutes, and with tambours, and with sistra, and with cymbals.
6. And when they came to Nachon's threshing-floor, Uzzah reached after the ark of God and took hold of it; for the oxen had stumbled.
