carried the ark.
Heb. made the ark to ride.At Nu 3:10, and again at ver. 38, a particular caution is given that strangers must not touch, or even pry into, the most holy things connected with the tabernacle, lest the offender die.
In giving the law, also, even a beast which touched Sinai's mount was, by the Almighty's fiat, to be stoned or thrust through with a dart.
And again we read, (Nu 4:15) after special orders to Aaron and his sons about covering the sanctuary and all the vessels previously to a removal, that the Kohathites, who were to carry them, "shall not touch any holy thing, lest they die."
These were positive commands.
May the sin of Uzza in touching the ark, warn Christians to take heed of rashness and irreverence in dealing about holy things:
see ver. 9.in a new cart.
1 Chron. 15:2,13• 2Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites: for them hath the Lord chosen to carry the ark of God, and to minister unto him for ever.
 13For because ye did it not at the first, the Lord our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after the due order. (1 Chron. 15:2,13)
;
Num. 4:15• 15And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp is to set forward; after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear it: but they shall not touch any holy thing, lest they die. These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation. (Num. 4:15)

;
2 Sam. 6:3• 3And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in Gibeah: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drave the new cart. (2 Sam. 6:3)
out of the house.
1 Sam. 7:1‑2• 1And the men of Kirjath-jearim came, and fetched up the ark of the Lord, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the Lord.
 2And it came to pass, while the ark abode in Kirjath-jearim, that the time was long; for it was twenty years: and all the house of Israel lamented after the Lord. (1 Sam. 7:1‑2)
• In view of the great theme which is going to dominate the latter part of this book of Chronicles — the role of the priesthood in its relationship to the kingship — we need to be reminded here of the details of the ark's return and the mistake which David made. (“The Ark and the New Cart: 1 Chronicles 13” by H.L. Rossier)
• Nonetheless, whatever may be grace's designs, man shows himself weak to carry them out, and God takes care to reveal this to us here. If it were otherwise, we would find an infallible David in Chronicles, whereas God would rather show us His infallible counsels, brought to fruition in view of Christ of whom David is the type. (“The Ark and the New Cart: 1 Chronicles 13” by H.L. Rossier)
