2 Samuel 6:8

Verse 8

8. David was displeased Mortified and chagrined at the sudden and unhappy interruption of the triumphal procession. Various passions for the moment revelled in his soul. He was angry with himself for neglect and carelessness in allowing the ark to be removed in this way, and afterwards, according to 1 Chronicles 15:2; 1 Chronicles 15:13, he said: “None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites. For because ye did it not at the first, the Lord our God made a breach upon us.”

Because the Lord had made a breach upon Uzzah Because of the neglect and carelessness which occasioned the demand for such a judgment from the Lord. David was not angry against God, for the next verse tells us that he was afraid of him.

Made a breach Violently interposed in a sudden stroke of Divine judgment.
