Numbers 7:3-8
New International Version
3 They brought as their gifts before the Lord six covered carts(A) and twelve oxen—an ox from each leader and a cart from every two. These they presented before the tabernacle.
4 The Lord said to Moses, 5 “Accept these from them, that they may be used in the work at the tent of meeting. Give them to the Levites as each man’s work requires.”
6 So Moses took the carts and oxen and gave them to the Levites. 7 He gave two carts and four oxen to the Gershonites,(B) as their work required, 8 and he gave four carts and eight oxen to the Merarites,(C) as their work required. They were all under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron, the priest.
2 Samuel 6:3-6
New International Version
3 They set the ark of God on a new cart(A) and brought it from the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill.(B) Uzzah and Ahio, sons of Abinadab, were guiding the new cart 4 with the ark of God on it,[a] and Ahio was walking in front of it. 5 David and all Israel were celebrating(C) with all their might before the Lord, with castanets,[b] harps, lyres, timbrels, sistrums and cymbals.(D)
6 When they came to the threshing floor of Nakon, Uzzah reached out and took hold of(E) the ark of God, because the oxen stumbled.
