Reach out and steady the ARK of God, like God needs help...
2 Samuel 6
Again David gathered all
the choice
men of Israel, thirty thousand. 2 And David arose and went with all the people who
were with him from [
a]Baale Judah to bring up from there the ark of God, whose name is called [
b]by the Name, the Lord of Hosts, who dwells
between the cherubim. 3 So they set the ark of God on a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which
was on the hill; and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new [
c]cart. 4 And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which
was on the hill, accompanying the ark of God; and Ahio went before the ark. 5 Then David and all the house of Israel played
music before the Lord on all kinds of
instruments of fir wood, on harps, on stringed instruments, on tambourines, on sistrums, and on cymbals.
6 And when they came to Nachon’s threshing floor, Uzzah put out his hand to the ark of God and [d]took hold of it, for the oxen stumbled.
7 Then the anger of the Lord was aroused against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his [e]error; and he died there by the ark of God.
8 And David became angry because of the Lord’s outbreak against Uzzah; and he called the name of the place [
f]Perez Uzzah to this day.
