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 Heaven’s Armies, who sits enthroned between the cherubim that are on it.
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.
They brought it with the ark of God from the house of Abinadab on the hill. Ahio was walking in front of the ark,

When they arrived at the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached out and grabbed hold of the ark of God, because the oxen stumbled.
The LORD was so furious with Uzzah, he killed him on the spot for his negligence. He died right there beside the ark of God.
David was angry because the LORD attacked Uzzah; so he called that place Perez Uzzah, which remains its name to this very day.
