1 Chronicles 13:5-10 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

5. So David assembled all Israel, from the Shihor of Egypt to the entrance of Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.

6. David and all Israel went to Baalah (that is, Kiriath-jearim that belongs to Judah) to take the ark of God from there, which is called by the name of the Lord who dwells between the cherubim.

7. At Abinadab’s house they set the ark of God on a new cart. Uzzah and Ahio were guiding the cart.

8. David and all Israel were celebrating with all their might before God with songs and with lyres, harps, tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets.

9. When they came to Chidon’s threshing floor, Uzzah reached out to hold the ark because the oxen had stumbled.

10. Then the Lord’s anger burned against Uzzah, and He struck him dead because he had reached out to the ark. So he died there in the presence of God.
