2 Samuel6:9
9 And David was afraid of the LORD that day, and said, How shall the ark of the LORD come unto me ?
Either, that God was displeased with him for removing the Ark, and bringing it to his City: or lest God should proceed further in the way of his Judgments upon him and his people: or, lest the Ark being brought to his House, might be the occasion of inconveniencies and great calamities for some neglects or errors which they might easily and frequently commit.
How may I presume, or how shall I dare do it, when God hath shewed his displeasure for my attempting it? I will therefore wait further upon God for his direction in the case, and at present forbear. But why did not David consult God presently by the Urim, as he used to do? This therefore seems to have been his infirmity and neglect.
