6 When they approached Nacon’s threshing floor, Uzzah reached out to God’s chest and grabbed it because the oxen had stumbled.[a] 7 The Lord became angry at Uzzah, and God struck him there because of his mistake,[b] and he died there next to God’s chest. 8 Then David got angry because the Lord’s anger lashed out against Uzzah, and so that place is called Perez-uzzah today.[c]
