Geneva Study Bible - 1 Chronicles 13:10

13:10 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died {f} before God.(f) Before the Ark for usurping that which did not belong to his calling: for this charge was given to the priests, Numbers 4:15 , so that here all good intentions are condemned, unless they are commanded by the word of God. read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 13:1-14

DAVID ’S REIGN THE DOWNFALL OF SAUL (1 Chronicles 10:0 ) In reading this chapter with whose general contents we became familiar in 1 Samuel 31:0 , it is important to note the inspired comment at its close (1 Chronicles 10:13-14 ). DAVID’S HEROES (1 Chronicles 11-12) In the history of David in this book, the writer dwells chiefly on its prosperous side, passing over the rest as lightly as possible. His anointing at Hebron (1 Chronicles 11:1-3 ) reveals nothing of what we learned earlier of... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 1 Chronicles 13:1-14

Holy Ebullitions 1 Chronicles 13:0 CHAPTERS 13-16 form a section complete in itself, relating to the transfer of the ark from Kirjath-jearim to Jerusalem. There is a short parenthesis in chapter xiv. The fourteenth chapter is almost parallel to 2 Samuel 6:1-11 , except that the introduction goes into much more detail. Even David, though so mighty, was wise enough to consult with the captains of thousands and hundreds, and with every leader. The hundreds were the smaller military divisions of... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Chronicles 13:9-10

This awful breach upon Uzzah, holds forth a solemn lesson. All approaches to God must be done with an holy awe and reverence. Though we have boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, yet that boldness, it should be remembered, is not in us, but Jesus. / will be sanctified (saith God) in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. Leviticus 10:3 . read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Chronicles 13:11-12

I should pause here to remark the unsuitableness of David's behavior on this occasion, were I not called away to admire still more the wonderful graciousness of the Lord to him in his forbearance. Because the Lord smote Uzzah for his presumption and spared David, was this a cause of displeasure. Would it not have been more suitable in the king to have thrown himself, and commanded all the people to have followed his example, upon the earth before the Lord; and humbly, like Job, if he knew not... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Chronicles 13:6-14

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. Let the punishment of Uzza teach us not to dare to trifle with God in our approaches to him; yet let us, through Christ, come boldly to the throne of grace. If the gospel be to some a savour of death unto death, as the ark was to Uzza, yet let us receive it in the love of it, and it will be to us a savour of life... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 1 Chronicles 13:9-14

The Death of Uzza v. 9. And when they came unto the threshing-floor of Chidon (or Nachon), in all likelihood the usual floor in the open, a shelter overhead being provided in some cases, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled. Cf 2 Samuel 6:6-1 Kings :. v. 10. And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzza, and He smote him, because he put his hand to the ark, thus profaning an object which was entirely in the charge of the priests and to be handled by them only... read more
