2 Samuel 6:9

Uzzah Touches the Ark

8Then David became angry because the LORD had burst forth against Uzzah; so he named that place Perez-uzzah, as it is called to this day.9That day David feared the LORD and asked, “How can the ark of the LORD ever come to me?”10So he was unwilling to move the ark of the LORD to the City of David; instead, he took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
