2 Samuel 6:4-6
New Living Translation
4 that carried the Ark of God.[a] Ahio walked in front of the Ark. 5 David and all the people of Israel were celebrating before the Lord, singing songs[b] 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.
