6 Then David selected thirty thousand Israeli warriors and gathered them together. 2 He led them to Kiriat-Yearim (formerly called Baalah) in Yehudah to get the box of God (whose name is Yahweh the army commander) who lives between the two winged creatures on the top of it.[ref] 3 They placed the sacred chest on a newly-made cart and started moving it from Abinadab’s house which was on a hill. Uzzah and Ahyo (Abinadab’s sons) were leading the cart.[ref] 4 They took it from Abinadab’s house and Ahyo took the lead in front. 5 David and all the Israelis were celebrating in God’s presence with wooden harps and lyres, along with tambourines, shakers, and cymbals.

6 But when they reached Nakon’s threshing floor the oxen stumbled so Uzzah reached out to steady the sacred chest. 7 Yahweh became furious with Uzzah and killed him right there by the sacred chest because he’d touched it. 8 Now David got angry because of Yahweh’s outburst against Uzzah, and that place has been called Perets-Uzzah (meaning ‘The punishment of Uzzah’) until today. 9 David was afraid of Yahweh that day and asked, “How will Yahweh’s box get to Yerushalem?” 10 So he decided not to take Yahweh’s box there and redirected it instead to the house of Obed-Edom (a Gittite). 11 The sacred chest stayed at Obed-Edom’s house for three months, and Yahweh blessed him and all the household.[ref]
