2 Samuel 6:1-15

[1] Again, David  men of Israel,  thirty  thousand.  [2] And David  arose,  with all the people  that were with him from Baale of Judah,  to bring up  from thence the ark  of God,  whose name  is called  by the name  of the LORD  of hosts  that dwelleth  between the cherubims.  [3] And they set  the ark  of God  upon a new  cart,  and brought  it out of the house  of Abinadab  and Uzzah  and Ahio,  the sons  of Abinadab,  drave  the new  cart.  [4] And they brought  it out of the house  of Abinadab  accompanying  the ark  of God:  and Ahio  went  before  the ark.  [5] And David  and all the house  of Israel  played  before  the LORD  on all manner of instruments made of fir  wood,  even on harps,  and on psalteries,  and on timbrels,  and on cornets,  and on cymbals.  [6] And when they came  to Nachon's  threshingfloor,  Uzzah  put forth  his hand to the ark  of God,  and took hold  of it; for the oxen  shook  it. [7] And the anger  of the LORD  was kindled  against Uzzah;  and God  smote  him there for his error;  and there he died  by the ark  of God.  [8] And David  was displeased,  because the LORD  had made  a breach  upon Uzzah:  and he called  the name of the place  Perezuzzah  to this day.  [9] And David  was afraid  of the LORD  that day,  and said,  How shall the ark  of the LORD  come  [10] So David  would  not remove  the ark  of the LORD  unto him into the city  of David:  carried it aside  into the house  of Obededom  the Gittite.  [11] And the ark  of the LORD  continued  in the house  of Obededom  the Gittite  three  months:  and the LORD  blessed  Obededom,  and all his household.  [12] And it was told  king  David,  saying,  The LORD  hath blessed  the house  of Obededom,  and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark  of God.  So David  and brought up  the ark  of God  from the house  of Obededom  into the city  of David  with gladness.  [13] And it was so, that when they that bare  the ark  of the LORD  had gone  six  paces,  he sacrificed  oxen  and fatlings.  [14] And David  danced  before  the LORD  with all his might;  and David  was girded  with a linen  ephod.  [15] So David  and all the house  of Israel  brought up  the ark  of the LORD  with shouting,  and with the sound  of the trumpet.
