1Ch 13:3
13:3 And let us bring again the {a} ark of our God to us: for we
enquired not at it in the days of Saul.

Saul's day been corrupted and neglected.
1Ch 13:5
13:5 So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt
even unto the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God
from {b} Kirjathjearim.
(b) That is, from Gibea, where the inhabitants of
Kirjathjearim had placed it in the house of Abinadab,
@2Sa 6:3.
1Ch 13:7
13:7 And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the
house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio {c} drave the cart.
(c) The sons of Abinadab.
1Ch 13:8
13:8 And David and all Israel played before {d} God with all
[their] might, and with singing, and with harps, and with
psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with
trumpets.
(d) That is, before the Ark, where God showed himself: so
that the sign is taken for the thing signified, which
is common to all sacraments both in the old and new
testaments.
1Ch 13:9

Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen
stumbled.

smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there
he died {f} before God.

to his calling: for this charge was given to the
priests, @Nu 4:15, so that here all good
intentions are condemned, unless they are commanded by
the word of God.
1Ch 13:13
13:13 So David brought not the ark [home] to himself to the city
of David, but carried it aside into the house of {g}
Obededom the Gittite.

at Gath.
