2 Samuel 6

David attempts to transport the **Ark of the Covenant** to Jerusalem on a cart; Uzzah touches it when the oxen stumble, and **YHWH** strikes him dead for irreverence, causing David to fear and leave the ark at Obed-Edom's house where it brings blessing. David later successfully brings the ark to Jerusalem with proper Levitical bearers, dancing joyfully before **YHWH**, while Michal despises him and remains barren.[1][4][5]
