4 And they brought her with the ark of God out of the house of Aminadab which is on the hill; and Ahio went before the ark.

5 And David and all the children of Israel played before the Lord with all kinds of musical instruments of cypress wood, and on the zither, and on the psalters, and on the tymbrum, and on the systers, and on the cymbals.

6 And when they came to the threshing floor of Nahon, Uzzah stretched out his hand to the ark of God, and took hold of it, for the oxen had bent it.

7 But the Lord was angry with Uzzah, and God smote him there for his boldness, and he died there by the ark of God.

8 And David was grieved that the Lord had smitten Uzzah. To this day this place is called: "the defeat of Uzzah."

9 And David feared the Lord in that day, and said, 'How shall the ark of the Lord enter in to me?'

10 And David would not take the ark of the Lord to his own city of David, but turned it into the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.

11 And the ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed-Ed-Om the Gittite three months, and the Lord blessed Obed-Edom and all his house.

12 And when they reported to King David, saying, "The Lord has blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that he had, for the sake of the ark of God," David went and carried the ark of God in triumph from the house of Obed-Edom to the city of David.

13 And when those who carried the ark of the Lord walked six paces, he sacrificed a bull and a ram.

14 David galloped with all his might before the Lord; and David was clothed in a linen ephod.

15 So David and all the house of Israel carried the ark of the LORD with shouts and trumpets.

16 And it came to pass, as the ark of the Lord entered into the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out of the window, and when she saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, she despised him in her heart.

17 And they brought the ark of the Lord, and set it in its place, in the midst of the tabernacle which David had built for it; And David offered burnt offerings before the Lord, and peace-offerings.
