Context
Uzzah Meets Disaster
13:1 David consulted with his military officers , including those who led groups of a thousand and those who led groups of a hundred .
13:2 David said to the whole Israelite assembly , “If you so desire and the Lord our God approves, let’s spread the word to our brothers who remain in all the regions of Israel , and to the priests and Levites in their cities , so they may join us.
13:3 Let’s move the ark of our God back here , for we did not seek his will throughout Saul’s reign .”
13:4 The whole assembly agreed to do this , for the proposal seemed right to all the people .
13:5 So David assembled all Israel from the Shihor River in Egypt to Lebo Hamath , to bring the ark of God from Kiriath Jearim .
13:6 David and all Israel went up to Baalah (that is, Kiriath Jearim ) in Judah to bring up from there the ark of God the Lord , who sits enthroned between the cherubim – the ark that is called by his name .
13:7 They transported the ark on a new cart from the house of Abinadab ; Uzzah and Ahio were guiding the cart ,
13:8 while David and all Israel were energetically celebrating before God , singing and playing various stringed instruments , tambourines , cymbals , and trumpets .
13:9 When they arrived at the threshing floor of Kidon , Uzzah reached out his hand to take hold of the ark , because the oxen stumbled .
13:10 The Lord was so furious with Uzzah , he killed him, because he reached out his hand and touched the ark . He died right there before God .
13:11 David was angry because the Lord attacked Uzzah ; so he called that place Perez Uzzah , which remains its name to this very day .
13:12 David was afraid of God that day and said , “How will I ever be able to bring the ark of God up here?”
13:13 So David did not move the ark to the City of David ; he left it in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite .
13:14 The ark of God remained in Obed-Edom’s house for three months ; the Lord blessed Obed-Edom’s family and everything that belonged to him.
