Uzzah Touches the Ark

Uzzah Touches the Ark

(1 Chronicles 13:8–14)


5David and all the house of Israel were celebrating before the LORD with all kinds of wood instruments,[fn] harps, stringed instruments, tambourines, sistrums, and cymbals.


6When they came to the threshing floor of Nacon,[fn] Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark of God, because the oxen had stumbled. 7And the anger of the LORD burned against Uzzah, and God struck him down on the spot for his irreverence,[fn] and he died there beside the ark of God.


8Then David became angry because the LORD had burst forth against Uzzah; so he named that place Perez-uzzah,[fn] as it is called to this day.


9That day David feared the LORD and asked, “How can the ark of the LORD ever come to me?” 10So he was unwilling to move the ark of the LORD to the City of David; instead, he took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite. 11Thus the ark of the LORD remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite for three months, and the LORD blessed him and all his household.


6:5 Literally before the LORD with all woods of cypress; LXX playing before the Lord on well-tuned instruments mightily, and with songs; some of the instruments in this verse are uncertain; see 1 Chronicles 13:8.

6:6 Nacon is a variant of Chidon; see 1 Chronicles 13:9.

6:7 MT; DSS for this

6:8 Perez-uzzah means outbreak against Uzzah.
