David was angry because Adonai had burst out against Uzza. So he called that place Perez-uzza as it is to this day.
Now the sun rose upon him just as he crossed by Peniel—limping because of his hip.
Then the anger of Adonai was kindled against Uzzah. God struck him down there for his irreverence, so that he died there beside the ark of God.
So David was frightened of Adonai that day. Then he said, “How can the ark of Adonai come to me?”
The anger of Adonai burned against Uzza, and He struck him down, because he reached out his hand and touched the Ark. He died there before God.
David feared God that day, saying, “How can I ever bring the Ark of God to me?”
Because you were not there the first time, Adonai our God burst out upon us, for we did not seek Him regarding the prescribed way.”
Even the kohanim who come near to Adonai must consecrate themselves, so that Adonai does not break out against them.”
Yet Adonai said, “Is it good for you to be so angry?”
Then God said to Jonah, “Is it good for you to be so angry about the plant?” “It is,” he said, “I am angry enough to die!”
Then He buried him in the valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth-peor—but no one knows of his burial place to this day.
Joshua also set up twelve stones in the middle of the Jordan, at the spot where the feet of the kohanim carrying the ark of the covenant were standing—they are there to this day.
