Contextual Overview

1 And David consulted the chiefs of the thousands and of the hundreds, to every leader. 2 And David said to all the assembly of Israel, If it is good to you, and it has broken forth from Jehovah our God, we shall send to our brothers those remaining in all the lands of Israel, and withthem the priests and the Levites in the citiesof their open lands; and they shall be gathered to us. 3 And we shall bring around to us the ark of our God, for we did not seek Him in the days of Saul. 4 And all the congregation said to do so, for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people. 5 And David gathered all Israel, from Shihor of Egypt even to the entering in of Hamath, to bring in the ark of God from Kirjath-jearim. 6 And David and all Israel went up to Baalah, to Kirjath-jearim of Judah, to bring up from there the ark of Jehovah God, who dwells among the cherubs, where the Name was called on. 7 And they made the ark of God to ride on a new cart from the house of Abinadab. And Uzza and Ahio were leading the cart. 8 And David and all Israel were playing before God with all their might, and with songs, and with lyres, and with harps, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

carried the ark: Heb. made the ark to ride, at Numbers 3:10, and again at verse 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 - Numbers 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 note on 1 Chronicles 13:9.

in a new cart: 1 Chronicles 15:2, 1 Chronicles 15:13, Numbers 4:15, 1 Samuel 6:7, 2 Samuel 6:3

out of the house: 1 Samuel 7:1, 1 Samuel 7:2

Reciprocal: 1 Samuel 6:11 - they laid 2 Samuel 6:4 - General Isaiah 30:29 - with a pipe

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Chronicles 13:7. In a new cart — Lest it should be profaned by being placed on any carriage that had been employed about common uses.

Uzza and Ahio — All the versions understand אחיו achyo as signifying brother or brothers; so does Jarchi, who observes, from 2 Samuel 6:3, that these were the sons of Abinadab.
