Notes

1 Chronicles 13:9–11

When Uzzah died, Israel's celebration quickly turned to sorrow. Touching the ark led to death because it violated its holiness (see 1 Chronicles 15:13).

1 Chronicles 13:1–17:27

These chapters describe how Jerusalem became the political and religious center of Israel. The story begins with David's failed attempt to move the Ark of God from Kiriath-jearim to Jerusalem (1 Chronicles 13:1–14; compare 2 Samuel 6:2–11).
