The Ark Brought from Kiriath-Jearim.1 Chronicles 13:1-14
The History of the Covenant
INTRODUCTION
The books of Kings and Chronicles are often regarded as much alike, but there are marked differences between them. The books of Kings present mainly political annals from the time of Solomon to the fall of Jerusalem. The northern and southern kingdoms receive equal attention. The books of Chronicles cover a much longer period, longer indeed than that surveyed by any other portion of Scripture. They are a summary of religious history from the creation of the world down to the time when they were written, subsequent to the Captivity. From the time of the division of the kingdom the history of Judah only is recorded, the writer’s purpose excluding any account of apostate Israel.
The books are drawn from a great variety of sources, many of which are named in the text. Though it is impossible to determine the author with certainty, probability strongly favors Ezra.

2. David, I Chronicles 11-29
THE ARK BROUGHT FROM KIRIATH-JEARIM
David consulted with the captains of the thousands and the hundreds, even with every leader.
David said to all the assembly of Israel, “If it seems good to you, and if it is from the LORD our God, let us send word everywhere to our fellow countrymen who remain in all the land of Israel, and to the priests and Levites who are with them in their cities with pasture lands, so that they may meet with us;
and let us bring back the ark of our God to us, for we did not seek it during the days of Saul.”
Then all the assembly agreed to do so, for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.
UZZAH AND THE ARK
So David gathered all Israel together, from the Shihor [watercourse] of Egypt, to the entrance of Hamath [in the north], to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.
David and all Israel went up to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath-jearim, which belongs to Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God the LORD who sits enthroned above the cherubim, the ark which is called by His name.
They carried the ark of God on a new cart and brought it out of the house of Abinadab, and Uzza and Ahio [his brother] drove the cart.
David and all Israel celebrated [joyfully] before God with all their might, with songs, lyres, harps, tambourines, cymbals, and trumpets.
When they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzza put out his hand to hold and steady the ark, for the oxen [that were drawing the cart] nearly overturned it.
The anger of the LORD burned against Uzza, and He struck him down because he touched the ark; and there he died before God. [Num_4:15]
David became angry because of the LORD’S outburst against Uzza; so that place is called Perez-uzza to this day.
David was afraid of God that day, and he said, “How can I bring the ark of God home with me?”
So David did not bring the ark with him to the City of David, but took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite. [Jos_21:20, Jos_21:24; 1Ch_15:24]
So the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house three months; and the LORD blessed the house of Obed-edom and all that he had.
