A new cart, a hillside house, and two brothers walking beside the ark of God: that is where Ahio appears in 2 Samuel 6. He and Uzzah were sons of Abinadab, and while Uzzah drove the cart, “Ahio went before the ark.” The same chapter goes on to tell of Uzzah’s sudden death, which stopped the journey and left David afraid. Ahio’s name also turns up in the family lists of Benjamin in 1 Chronicles 8 and 9, though those entries may be different men. To meet him in his best-known moment, read 2 Samuel 6:1-11.

And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart.
And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab which was at Gibeah, accompanying the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark.
And Gedor, and Ahio, and Zacher.
And Gedor, and Ahio, and Zechariah, and Mikloth.
