* Again , David gathered together all the chosen men of Israel , thirty thousand . * And David arose , and went 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 . * And they set the ark of God upon a new cart , and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah : and Uzzah and Ahio , the sons of Abinadab , drave the new cart . * And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which was at Gibeah , accompanying the ark of God : and Ahio went before the ark . * 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 . * 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 . * 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 . * 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 . * And David was afraid of the LORD that day , and said , How shall the ark of the LORD come to me ? * So David would not remove the ark of the LORD unto him into the city of David : but David carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gittite . * 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 . * 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 went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obededom into the city of David with gladness . * And it was so , that when they that bare the ark of the LORD had gone six paces , he sacrificed oxen and fatlings . * And David danced before the LORD with all his might ; and David was girded with a linen ephod .
