Shmuel Bet (II Samuel) — Perek 6

The ark of the covenant brought to Jerusalem

Dovid gathers chosen men to bring the Aron from Kiryat Yearim to Yerushalayim. During the journey, the oxen stumble, and Uzzah reaches out to steady the Aron; Hashem strikes him dead. Dovid temporarily leaves the Aron with Oved-Edom, but later brings it to Yerushalayim with dancing. Michal criticizes Dovid's dancing and is punished.

• First attempt to move the Aron
• Uzzah touches the Aron and dies
• The Aron stays with Oved-Edom
• Successful, joyous transport to Yerushalayim
• Michal despises Dovid's dancing
