Commentary on 1 Chronicles 15:13

Theological / Devotional

Did it not. In the first attempt to transfer the ark from Kirjath-jearim the requirements of the Lord were not followed, and Uzza met instant death for his folly in touching the ark (chapter 13:7-10).

Made a breach. Literally, “broke forth.” This refers to the death of Uzza (chapter 13:11). See Exodus 19:22, 24, where the same expression is used.

After the due order. In the previous attempt to transfer the ark they had placed it upon a cart (chapter 13:7) instead of carrying it on the shoulders of the sons of Kohath as the Lord had specifically ordained (Numbers 4:15).
