David was so enthusiastic about bringing the Ark to Jerusalem(David’s City), but he changed his mind when on their way from the house of Abinadab, Uzzah died as a result of trying to save the Ark of God from falling. How did this happen and what is God trying to teach us? The Ark was placed on an Oxen, which was a major mistake David made. The Ark has a guideline and ways it should be carried. This will be discussed more in series II (God of Principle). The Oxen had slipped and the Ark tilted to fall, as Uzzah stretched his hand to save it, he was struck dead. The death of Uzzah scared King David, if the Ark can kill the son of whom the Ark has been for years, I better be wise. Instead of moving it to David’s city, he instructed that the Ark should be kept in Obed-Edom’s house.
