13:10 Good intentions aside, Uzzah was violating the sacredness of the ark by touching an object that the Lord had declared untouchable. Lest there be any doubt about it, the Chronicler insists that it was the Lord who struck Uzzah dead.
13:11-12 David was angry that the Lord had interfered with his plans for giving the ark such triumphal treatment. Then his anger turned to fear. The display of the holiness and power of God made David doubt whether he was able or worthy to bring the ark to his city.
13:13-14 While David pondered what to do, the ark of God was parked at the home of Obed-edom. Obed-edom’s family—just as Abinadab’s in Kiriath-jearim had—enjoyed special blessings from the Lord because they were hosting the ark.
