Introduction

David consults with his officers, and resolves to bring back the ark from the house of Abinadab, 1Chr 13:1-4. They place it on a new cart, and Uzza and Ahio drive the cart; the oxen stumbling, Uzza puts forth his hand to save the ark from falling, and he is smitten by the Lord, 1Chr 13:5-10. David is displeased, and orders the ark to be carried to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite, 1Chr 13:11-13. The ark abides there three months, and the Lord blesses Obed-edom, 1Chr 13:14.
