Context of 1 Chronicles 13:14

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. God's Covenant Box stayed in the home of Obed-Edom's family for three months. During that time, the Lord blessed Obed-Edom's family and everything that he had.

• 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.

If the gospel be to some a savour of death unto death, as the ark was to Uzza, yet let us receive it in the…Read the comment
