[6:6]  ¹ tn 1 Chr 13:9 has “Kidon.”

[6:6]  ² tn Or “steadied.”

[6:6]  ³ tn Heb “and Uzzah reached out toward the ark of God and grabbed it.”

[6:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “and the anger of the Lord burned against Uzzah.”

[6:7]  ⁵ tn Heb “God.”

[6:7]  ⁶ tc Heb “there.” Since this same term occurs later in the verse it is translated “on the spot” here for stylistic reasons.
