Context

Uzzah Touches the Ark

¹⁰And the anger of the LORD burned against Uzzah, and He struck him down because he had put his hand on the ark. So he died there before God. ¹¹Then David became angry because the LORD had burst forth against Uzzah; so he named that place Perez-uzzah, as it is called to this day.

Summary

In this verse, we see the consequences of not following God's instructions and seeking His guidance. David and his men were transporting the ark of the covenant on a cart, which was not the way God had prescribed for it to be carried. As a result, Uzzah reached out to steady the ark when the oxen stumbled, and he was struck dead by God. This event serves as a sobering reminder of the holiness of God and the importance of obeying His commands with reverence and humility.
