← 2 Samuel 6:5	2 Samuel 6:6 (KJV)	2 Samuel 6:7 →
And David and all the house of Israel played before the LORD on all manner of [instruments made of] fir wood, even on harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals.	And when they came to Nachon's threshingfloor, Uzzah put forth [his hand] to the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the oxen shook [it].	And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for [his] error; and there he died by the ark of God.
