1 Chronicles 13

1 Chronicles 13:7

Richard Challoner: out of the house of Abinadab: 2 Samuel 6:3 adds “who was in Gabaa.” That is the hill of Cariathiarim, where the ark had been in the house of Abinadab, from the time of its being restored back by the Philistines.

1 Chronicles 13:10

Richard Challoner: Wherefore if to transgress the Sabbath, and to touch the falling Ark, drew down the wrath of God so signally as to deprive the offender of even a momentary respite, shall he who corrupts unutterably awful doctrines find excuse and pardon? Assuredly not. A want of zeal in small matters is the cause of all our calamities; and because slight errors escape fitting correction, greater ones creep in. As in the body, a neglect of wounds generates fever, mortification, and death; so in the soul, slight evils overlooked open the door to graver ones. (St. John Chrysostom Commentary on Galatians 1:7)
