2 Samuel 6:5-7
New Living Translation
5 David and all the people of Israel were celebrating before the Lord, singing songs[a] and playing all kinds of musical instruments—lyres, harps, tambourines, castanets, and cymbals.
6 But when they arrived at the threshing floor of Nacon, the oxen stumbled, and Uzzah reached out his hand and steadied the Ark of God. 7 Then the Lord’s anger was aroused against Uzzah, and God struck him dead because of this.[b] So Uzzah died right there beside the Ark of God.
