I Chronicles 13: 9-10 ” When they came to the threshing floor of Kidon, Uzzah reached out his hand to steady the Ark, because the oxen stumbled. The Lord’s anger burned against Uzzah and He struck him down because he had put his hand on the Ark. So he died there before God.”

The Levites were moving the Ark of the Covenant…and rather than obeying the Lord’s command of how to move it…the Ark was to be carried on the shoulders of the men, they placed the Ark on an oxen cart. God’s commandments are not open to debate or revision on our part. The Levites knew the proper protocol, but chose not to follow it.
