Context of 1 Chronicles 13:11

9They reached the place of Kidon's threshing floor. There the oxen that were pulling the cart almost fell. So Uzzah reached out to hold the Covenant Box to stop it falling. 10The Lord was very angry with Uzzah because he had touched the Covenant Box. He knocked Uzzah down to the ground. Uzzah died there, beside God's Covenant Box. David was angry because the Lord had punished Uzzah. So he called that place ‘Perez Uzzah’. That is still its name today. 12So David now became afraid of God. He said, ‘God's Covenant Box is too holy to take with me.’ 13So he did not take the Covenant Box to the City of David to be with him there. Instead, he took it to the house of Obed-Edom, who came from Gath.

Commentaries on 1 Chronicles 13:11

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 6-14Verses 6-14 Let the sin of Uzza warn all to take heed of presumption, rashness, and irreverence, in dealing with holy things; and let none think that a good design will justify a bad action.
