[[1 Chron-13]] Prev: [[Prophecies in 1 Chron-12]] | Next: [[Prophecies in 1 Chron-14]] --- ### Yahweh's anger burned against Uzza, and he struck him, because he put his hand on the ark; and he died there before God. *Type*: fulfillment *Summary*: The sudden death of Uzza after touching the Ark of the Covenant to steady it. *Historical context*: Theological scholars identify this event as the direct fulfillment of the divine warning recorded in [[Num-04#v15|Numbers 4:15]]. In that text, God explicitly commanded that while the Kohathites were to carry the holy things, they 'must not touch the holy things, lest they die.' The incident in [[1 Chron|1 Chronicles 13]] serves as a historical realization of this specific penalty for violating the sanctity of the Ark. *Related to*: [[Num-04#v15|Numbers 4:15]] ### Also, let's bring the ark of our God back to us again; for we didn't seek it in the days of Saul. *Type*: fulfillment *Summary*: David's initiative to centralize the Ark of the Covenant in his capital city. *Historical context*: This movement begins the historical fulfillment of the prophecy in [[Deut-12#v5|Deuteronomy 12:5]]-11, where Moses predicted that the Lord would eventually choose a specific place among the tribes of Israel for His name to dwell. Prior to David's reign, the Ark was moved between temporary locations like Shiloh and Kiriath Jearim; David's actions in [[1 Chron|1 Chronicles 13]] established Jerusalem as the 'place the Lord chose.' *Related to*: [[Deut-12#v5|Deuteronomy 12:5]]-11 --- #ai_prophecy
