But when they came to the ^(C1)threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah ^(C2)reached out toward the ark of God and took hold of it, because the oxen nearly overturned it.

And the anger of the LORD burned against Uzzah, and ^(C1)God struck him down there for ^(F1)his irreverence; and he died there by the ark of God.

Then David became angry because ^(F1)of the LORD'S outburst against Uzzah; and that place has been called ^(F2)Perez-uzzah to this day.

So ^(C1)David was afraid of the LORD that day; and he said, "How can the ark of the LORD come to me?"

And David was unwilling to move the ark of the LORD into the city of David with him; but David took it aside to the house of ^(C1)Obed-edom, the Gittite.

The ark of the LORD remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite for three months, and the LORD ^(C1)blessed Obed-edom and all his household.

Now it was reported to King David, saying, "The LORD has blessed the house of Obed-edom and all that belongs to him, on account of the ark of God." ^(C1)So David went and brought the ark of God up from the house of Obed-edom to ^(C2)the city of David with joy.

And so it was, that ^(F1)when ^(C1)those carrying the ark of the LORD marched six paces, he sacrificed an ^(C2)ox and a fattened steer.
