1 Chronicles

1 Chronicles 13:7–11

⁷So they carried the ark of God from the house of Abinadab on a new cart, with Uzzah and Ahio guiding the cart.

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

⁹When they came to the threshing floor of Chidon,^d Uzzah reached out and took hold of the ark, because the oxen had stumbled. ¹⁰And the anger of the LORD burned against Uzzah, and He struck him down because he had put his hand on the ark. So he died there before God.

¹¹Then David became angry because the LORD had burst forth against Uzzah. So he named that place Perez-uzzah,^e as it is called to this day.

d 13:9 Chidon is a variant of Nacon; see 2 Samuel 6:6|2SA 6:6.
