2 Samuel 6:7-9

Easy-to-Read Version

⁷ But the Lord was angry with Uzzah and killed him for that mistake. Uzzah showed he did not honor God when he touched the Holy Box, so he died there by God’s Holy Box. ⁸ David was upset because the Lord had killed Uzzah. David called that place “Perez Uzzah.”^[a] It is still called Perez Uzzah today.

⁹ David became afraid of the Lord that day, and he said, “How can I bring God’s Holy Box here now?”
