1 Crónicas 15:13

13 Puesto que no la llevasteis la primera vez, el SEÑOR nuestro Dios estalló en ira contra nosotros, ya que no le buscamos conforme a la ordenanza.

1 Crónicas 15:13 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 15:13

For because ye did it not at the first
Did not sanctify themselves, as the supplement in our version directs; but rather the sense is, ye were not there at first, when the ark was brought from Kirjathjearim as far as the house of Obededom, as they should have been; they were not then employed, as was their business, and therefore

the Lord our God made a breach upon us;
by smiting Uzzah with death, who was no Levite, and touched the ark, which is called his "error", and for which God smote him, ( 2 Samuel 6:7 ) on which place Lud. Capellus observes, the word "shal", we there render "error", signifies a "disease" in the Arabic language, and might formerly design a sudden one with the Hebrew; as an apoplexy; and so the sense be, that God smote Uzzah with an apoplexy, of which he suddenly died:

for that we sought him not after the due order;
but, instead of employing the Levites to carry the ark on their shoulders, it was put upon a cart.

1 Crónicas 15:13 In-Context

11 Entonces David hizo llamar a los sacerdotes Sadoc y Abiatar y a los levitas Uriel, Asaías, Joel, Semaías, Eliel y Aminadab,

12 y les dijo: Vosotros sois los jefes de las casas paternas de los levitas; santificaos, tanto vosotros como vuestros parientes, para que subáis el arca del SEÑOR, Dios de Israel, al lugar que le he preparado.

13 Puesto que no la llevasteis la primera vez, el SEÑOR nuestro Dios estalló en ira contra nosotros, ya que no le buscamos conforme a la ordenanza.

14 Se santificaron, pues, los sacerdotes y los levitas para subir el arca del SEÑOR, Dios de Israel.

15 Y los hijos de los levitas llevaron el arca de Dios sobre sus hombros, con las barras puestas, como Moisés había ordenado conforme a la palabra del SEÑOR.
