A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites--After the lapse of three months (Ch1 13:14) the purpose of transporting the ark to Jerusalem was resumed. Time and reflection had led to a discovery of the cause of the painful catastrophe that marred the first attempt. In preparing for the solemn procession that was now to usher the sacred symbol into its resting-place, David took special care that the carriage should be regulated in strict conformity to the law (Num 4:5, Num 4:15; Num 7:9; Num 10:17).

17 And the tabernacle [04908] was taken down [03381]; and the sons [01121] of Gershon [01648] and the sons [01121] of Merari [04847] set forward [05265], bearing [05375] the tabernacle [04908].
9 But unto the sons [01121] of Kohath [06955] he gave [05414] none [03808]: because the service [05656] of the sanctuary [06944] belonging unto them was that they should bear [05375] upon their shoulders [03802].
15 And when Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121] have made an end [03615] of covering [03680] the sanctuary [06944], and all the vessels [03627] of the sanctuary [06944], as the camp [04264] is to set forward [05265]; after [0310] that, the sons [01121] of Kohath [06955] shall come [0935] to bear [05375] it: but they shall not touch [05060] any holy thing [06944], lest they die [04191]. These things are the burden [04853] of the sons [01121] of Kohath [06955] in the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150].
5 And when the camp [04264] setteth forward [05265], Aaron [0175] shall come [0935], and his sons [01121], and they shall take down [03381] the covering [04539] vail [06532], and cover [03680] the ark [0727] of testimony [05715] with it:
14 And the ark [0727] of God [0430] remained [03427] with the family [01004] of Obededom [05654] in his house [01004] three [07969] months [02320]. And the LORD [03068] blessed [01288] the house [01004] of Obededom [05654], and all that he had.
13 For because ye did it not at the first [07223], the LORD [03068] our God [0430] made a breach [06555] upon us, for that we sought [01875] him not after the due order [04941].
11 And David [01732] was displeased [02734], because the LORD [03068] had made [06555] a breach [06556] upon Uzza [05798]: wherefore that place [04725] is called [07121] Perezuzza [06560] to this day [03117].
15 So David [01732] and all the house [01004] of Israel [03478] brought up [05927] the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068] with shouting [08643], and with the sound [06963] of the trumpet [07782].
1 And David [01732] consulted [03289] with the captains [08269] of thousands [0505] and hundreds [03967], and with every leader [05057].
2 And David [01732] said [0559] unto all the congregation [06951] of Israel [03478], If it seem good [02895] unto you, and that it be of the LORD [03068] our God [0430], let us send [07971] abroad [06555] unto our brethren [0251] every where, that are left [07604] in all the land [0776] of Israel [03478], and with them also to the priests [03548] and Levites [03881] which are in their cities [05892] and suburbs [04054], that they may gather [06908] themselves unto us:
3 And let us bring again [05437] the ark [0727] of our God [0430] to us: for we enquired [01875] not at it in the days [03117] of Saul [07586].
4 And all the congregation [06951] said [0559] that they would do so [06213]: for the thing [01697] was right [03474] in the eyes [05869] of all the people [05971].
5 So David [01732] gathered [06950] all Israel [03478] together [06950], from Shihor [07883] of Egypt [04714] even unto the entering [0935] of Hemath [02574], to bring [0935] the ark [0727] of God [0430] from Kirjathjearim [07157].
6 And David [01732] went up [05927], and all Israel [03478], to Baalah [01173], that is, to Kirjathjearim [07157], which belonged to Judah [03063], to bring up [05927] thence the ark [0727] of God [0430] the LORD [03068], that dwelleth [03427] between the cherubims [03742], whose name [08034] is called [07121] on it.
7 And they carried [07392] the ark [0727] of God [0430] in a new [02319] cart [05699] out of the house [01004] of Abinadab [041]: and Uzza [05798] and Ahio [0283] drave [05090] the cart [05699].
8 And David [01732] and all Israel [03478] played [07832] before [06440] God [0430] with all their might [05797], and with singing [07892], and with harps [03658], and with psalteries [05035], and with timbrels [08596], and with cymbals [04700], and with trumpets [02689].
9 And when they came [0935] unto the threshingfloor [01637] of Chidon [03592], Uzza [05798] put forth [07971] his hand [03027] to hold [0270] the ark [0727]; for the oxen [01241] stumbled [08058].
10 And the anger [0639] of the LORD [03068] was kindled [02734] against Uzza [05798], and he smote [05221] him, because he put [07971] his hand [03027] to the ark [0727]: and there he died [04191] before [06440] God [0430].
11 And David [01732] was displeased [02734], because the LORD [03068] had made [06555] a breach [06556] upon Uzza [05798]: wherefore that place [04725] is called [07121] Perezuzza [06560] to this day [03117].
12 And David [01732] was afraid [03372] of God [0430] that day [03117], saying [0559], How [01963] shall I bring [0935] the ark [0727] of God [0430] home to me?
13 So David [01732] brought [05493] not the ark [0727] home to himself to the city [05892] of David [01732], but carried it aside [05186] into the house [01004] of Obededom [05654] the Gittite [01663].
14 And the ark [0727] of God [0430] remained [03427] with the family [01004] of Obededom [05654] in his house [01004] three [07969] months [02320]. And the LORD [03068] blessed [01288] the house [01004] of Obededom [05654], and all that he had.
14 And the ark [0727] of God [0430] remained [03427] with the family [01004] of Obededom [05654] in his house [01004] three [07969] months [02320]. And the LORD [03068] blessed [01288] the house [01004] of Obededom [05654], and all that he had.
17 And the tabernacle [04908] was taken down [03381]; and the sons [01121] of Gershon [01648] and the sons [01121] of Merari [04847] set forward [05265], bearing [05375] the tabernacle [04908].
9 But unto the sons [01121] of Kohath [06955] he gave [05414] none [03808]: because the service [05656] of the sanctuary [06944] belonging unto them was that they should bear [05375] upon their shoulders [03802].
15 And when Aaron [0175] and his sons [01121] have made an end [03615] of covering [03680] the sanctuary [06944], and all the vessels [03627] of the sanctuary [06944], as the camp [04264] is to set forward [05265]; after [0310] that, the sons [01121] of Kohath [06955] shall come [0935] to bear [05375] it: but they shall not touch [05060] any holy thing [06944], lest they die [04191]. These things are the burden [04853] of the sons [01121] of Kohath [06955] in the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150].
50 But thou shalt appoint [06485] the Levites [03881] over the tabernacle [04908] of testimony [05715], and over all the vessels [03627] thereof, and over all things that belong to it: they shall bear [05375] the tabernacle [04908], and all the vessels [03627] thereof; and they shall minister [08334] unto it, and shall encamp [02583] round about [05439] the tabernacle [04908].
13 For because ye did it not at the first [07223], the LORD [03068] our God [0430] made a breach [06555] upon us, for that we sought [01875] him not after the due order [04941].
