6. As they came to the threshing place of Nacon, the oxen stumbled, and Uzzah reached out and took hold of the Covenant Box.
7. At once the Lord God became angry with Uzzah and killed him because of his irreverence. Uzzah died there beside the Covenant Box,
8. and so that place has been called Perez Uzzah ever since. David was furious because the Lord had punished Uzzah in anger.
9. Then David was afraid of the Lord and said, “How can I take the Covenant Box with me now?”
10. So he decided not to take it with him to Jerusalem; instead, he turned off the road and took it to the house of Obed Edom, a native of the city of Gath.
