Commentary on the Bible · Written before 1832.

In a new cart - Lest it should be profaned by being placed on any carriage that had been employed about common uses. Uzza and Ahio - All the versions understand אחיו achyo as signifying brother or brothers; so does Jarchi, who observes, from 2Sa 6:3, that these were the sons of Abinadab.

This site's exposition

the house of Abinadab on a new cart

The Law had the ark carried on poles, by Levites (Exodus 25:14 and Numbers 4:15). The Philistine priests had sent the ark home on a new cart in 1 Samuel 6:7. The rule waits for 15:2: No one but the Levites may carry the ark of God.

10 And the anger of the L ORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God. 11 And David was displeased, because the L ORD had made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perez-uzza to this day.
