We trace David’s attempt to bring the Ark to Jerusalem, the shock of Uzzah’s death, and the long walk from hype to holiness. The story moves from fear to blessing as obedience replaces shortcuts and worship finds its footing in God’s commands.

• homecoming context for First Chronicles and identity after exile
• meaning of the Ark as God’s throne and presence
• the failed cart procession and Uzzah’s death
• David’s fear, pause, and Obed-Edom’s unexpected blessing
• consulting God in battle and obeying specific guidance
• Levites consecrate, poles carry, musicians lead rightly
• joy restored when obedience anchors worship
• practical call to build on obedience rather than excitement
