Context of 1 Chronicles 13:11

9But when they came to Chidon’s threshing floor, the oxen stumbled. So Uzzah reached out to grab the ark. 10The Lord became angry with Uzzah and killed him for reaching for the ark. He died in God’s presence. David was angry because the Lord had struck Uzzah so violently. (That place is still called Perez Uzzah [The Striking of Uzzah] today.) 12David was afraid of God that day. “How can I bring God’s ark to my ⌞city⌟?” he asked. 13So he didn’t bring God’s ark to his ⌞home⌟, the City of David. Instead, he rerouted it to the home of Obed Edom, who was from Gath.

• 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.
