So they [a]carried the ark of God (A)on a new cart (B)from the house of Abinadab, and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart. Then (C)David and all Israel played music before God with all their might, with [b]singing, on harps, on stringed instruments, on tambourines, on cymbals, and with trumpets.

And when they came to [c]Chidon’s threshing floor, Uzza put out his hand to hold the ark, for the oxen [d]stumbled. 10 Then the anger of the Lord was aroused against Uzza, and He struck him (D)because he put his hand to the ark; and he (E)died there before God. 11 And David became angry because of the Lord’s outbreak against Uzza; therefore that place is called [e]Perez Uzza to this day.
