2 Samuel 6:2-6
6:2 David and all the men who were with him traveled
to
Baalah
in Judah to bring up from there the ark of God which is called by the name
of the
Lord of hosts, who sits enthroned between the cherubim that are on it.
6:3 They loaded the ark of God on a new cart and carried it from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill. Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, were guiding the new cart.
6:4 They brought
it with the ark of God up from the house of Abinadab on the hill. Ahio was walking in front of the ark,
6:5 while David and all Israel
were energetically celebrating before the
Lord, singing
and playing various stringed instruments,
tambourines, rattles,
and cymbals.
6:6 When they arrived at the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached out and grabbed hold of the ark of God, because the oxen stumbled.
