Uzzah Meets Disaster
13 David consulted with his military officers, including those who led groups of a thousand and those who led groups of a hundred.[a] 2 David said to the whole Israelite assembly, “If you so desire and the Lord our God approves,[b] let’s spread the word[c] to our brothers who remain in all the regions of Israel, and to the priests and Levites in their cities,[d] so they may join us. 3 Let’s move the ark of our God back here,[e] for we did not seek his will[f] throughout Saul’s reign.”[g]
