(See Gill on 1 Chronicles 13:5).

1 Chronicles 13:11 In-Context

9 When they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzzah put out his hand to hold the ark, for the oxen shook it.

10 The anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah; he struck him down because he put out his hand to the ark; and he died there before God.

11 David was angry because the Lord had burst out against Uzzah; so that place is called Perez-uzzah to this day.

12 David was afraid of God that day; he said, "How can I bring the ark of God into my care?"

13 So David did not take the ark into his care into the city of David; he took it instead to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
