2 And David said unto all the congregation of Israel, If it seem good unto you, and that it be of the LORD our God, let us send abroad unto our brethren every where, that are left in all the land of Israel, and with them also to the priests and Levites which are in their cities and suburbs, that they may gather themselves unto us:

carried the ark [heb] made the ark to ride. At nu 3:10, and again at ver. 38, a particular caution is given that strangers must not touch, or even pry into, the most holy things connected with the tabernacle, lest the offender die. In giving the law, also, even a beast which touched Sinai's mount was, by the Almighty's fiat, to be stoned or thrust through with a dart. And again we read, (nu 4:15) after special orders to Aaron and his sons about covering the sanctuary and all the vessels previously to a removal, that the Kohathites, who were to carry them, `shall not touch any holy thing, lest they die.' These were positive commands. May the sin of Uzza in touching the ark, warn Christians to take heed of rashness and irreverence in dealing about holy things. 1Ch 13:9

8 And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.

David 1Ch 15:10-24 1Sa 10:5 2Sa 6:5 2Ki 3:15 Ps 47:5 68:25-27 150:3-5

singing [heb]songs
with harps. The word kinnor, in Chaldee, kinnora, in Syraic, kainoro, in Arabic, kinnarat, and in Greek () certainly denotes a harp, played on with the hand, according to 1sa 16:23. The number of strings in the harp was at first three; but afterwards they were increased to four, and at last to seven 1Ch 15:28 16:5,42 23:5 25:1-6 Da 3:5-7 Am 5:23 6:5

psalteries, Naivel, or naibel, in Greek () and in Latin, nablium, was an instrument of the harp kind; having twelve sounds.

9 And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.

10 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God.
