Michal despises him For this reason This phrase sets the stage for understanding the cause-and-effect relationship in the narrative. It emphasizes accountability and the importance of following divine instructions. In the Hebrew context, it underscores the necessity of obedience to God's commands, which is a recurring theme throughout the Old Testament. because you did not carry it the first time the LORD our God broke out against us for we did not consult Him about the proper order Our God made a breach.--Broke out upon us; referring to the sudden death of Uzza (1Chronicles 13:10). (Comp. Exodus 19:22; Exodus 19:24, same phrase.) We sought him not (1Chronicles 13:3) after the due order.--The Ark was carried on a cart, instead of being borne by the sons of Kohath "on their shoulders, with the staves thereon" (1Chronicles 15:15; Numbers 4:15). Even the Kohathites themselves were forbidden to "touch any holy thing," as Uzza had ventured to do. It has been said that the "sanctity of institutions," as opposed to the "sanctity of a people under the government of a righteous God," is the leading idea of the Chronicles. It would be difficult to show how the sanctity of a people is to be secured, and how the government of a righteous God is to be realised, except in and through Divine institutions. As there is a "due order" by which God rules the physical world, so is there a corresponding order whereby His will is fulfilled in the spiritual sphere. There are positive institutions in Christianity as well as in Mosaism; and if we abolish the Divine authority of the one, why not of the other also? . . . Verse 13. - This verse purports to say that the Levites had been deficient in their duty in the double sense of not having themselves exclusively undertaken the removal of the ark, and not having executed that removal after the due order.Parallel Commentaries ...
