2 Samuel 6:17

1
2 Samuel 61-7 Vs 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 cart
Vs 6,7 - And when they came to Nachons
threshing floor, Uzzah put out his hand to the
ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen
stumbled. Then the anger of the Lord was aroused
against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his
error and he died there by the ark of God.

I Chronicles 1513-15 For because you did not do
it the first time, the Lord our God broke out
against us, because we did not consult Him about
the proper order.So the priests and the Levites
sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of
the Lord God of Israel. And the children of the
Levites bore the ark of God on their shoulders,
by its poles, as Moses had commanded according to
the word of the Lord.
