The descendants of Merari: Mahli, his son Libni, his son Shimei, his son Uzzah,

Naaman, Ahijah, and Gera, who moved them. Gera was the father of Uzzah and Ahihud.

They transported the ark on a new cart from the house of Abinadab; Uzzah and Ahio were guiding the cart,

When they arrived at the threshing floor of Kidon, Uzzah reached out his hand to take hold of the ark, because the oxen stumbled.

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.

David was angry because the Lord attacked Uzzah; so he called that place Perez Uzzah, which remains its name to this very day.
