It is well worthy of observation, that, in the account here given of David's bringing up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom, the subject begins with pointing out that David had discovered his former error, for he here saith, none ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites. We have a circumstantial account of this transaction, 2 Samuel 6:12, to which I refer the Reader, as well as to the observations in the Commentary upon it. But it is not there said that David so expressed himself concerning the duty of the Levites. So that the relation the Holy Ghost hath been pleased to have given the church in this place of this affair, serves to throw a great light upon this whole transaction, and particularly concerning Uzzah's presumption: so that I would earnestly recommend the Reader to peruse this chapter, with 2 Samuel 6:1 together.
