David tried to move the ark of God. But he did this in a fatal way to Uzzah.
For when the oxen stumbled and the cart slipped and Uzzah reached up and touched the ark to steady it, the anger of the Lord rose and God struck Uzzah dead!
Errors: They did not handle the ark properly according to the word of God concerning the ark.

* Only the tribe of Levi were appointed for this work.
* They were told by God to move the ark on their shoulders with staves.
You cannot do the work of God by your own thinking. You must be led by God and you must be called by God and you must follow the exact instructions given you by God.

They had tried to move the ark of God but failed.
I Chronicles 15:2 Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites: for them hath the LORD chosen to carry the ark of God, and to minister unto HIM for ever.
(By setting up the Levites to move the ark of God, they succeed. Also the Levites carried the ark of God with staves on their own shoulders as commanded by God.)
11 And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the priests, and for the Levites, for Uriel, Asaiah, and Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab,
12 And said unto them, Ye are the chief of the fathers of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, both ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel unto the place that I have prepared for it.
13 For because ye did it not at the first, the LORD our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought HIM not after the due order.
(Order of the New Testament Church today: From heaven Jesus called HIS ministers and set them to work in HIS church: Ephesians 4:11-12 And HE gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:)
14 So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel.
15 And the children of the Levites bare the ark of God upon their shoulders with the staves thereon, as Moses commanded according to the word of the LORD.

I Chronicles 16
4 And he (David) appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, and to record, and to thank and praise the LORD God of Israel:
7 Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank the LORD into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.
8 Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon HIS name, make known HIS deeds among the people.
9 Sing unto HIM, sing psalms unto HIM, talk ye of all HIS wondrous works.
10 Glory ye in HIS holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
11 Seek the LORD and HIS strength, seek HIS face continually.
12 Remember HIS marvellous works that HE hath done, HIS wonders, and the judgments of HIS mouth;
13 O ye seed of Israel HIS servant, ye children of Jacob, HIS chosen ones.
14 HE is the LORD our God; HIS judgments are in all the earth.
15 Be ye mindful always of HIS covenant; the word which HE commanded to a thousand generations;
16 Even of the covenant which HE made with Abraham, and of HIS oath unto Isaac;
17 And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
18 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;
19 When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.
20 And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people;
21 HE suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, HE reproved kings for their sakes,
22 Saying, Touch not MINE anointed, and do MY prophets no harm.
23 Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; shew forth from day to day HIS salvation.
24 Declare HIS glory among the heathen; HIS marvellous works among all nations.
25 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: HE also is to be feared above all gods.
26 For all the gods of the people are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
27 Glory and honour are in HIS presence; strength and gladness are in HIS place.
28 Give unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.
29 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto HIS name: bring an offering, and come before HIM: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.
30 Fear before HIM, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.
31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD reigneth.
32 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that is therein.
33 Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the LORD, because HE cometh to judge the earth.
34 O give thanks unto the LORD; for HE is good; for HIS mercy endureth for ever.
35 And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to THY holy name, and glory in THY praise.
36 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel for ever and ever.
And all the people said, Amen, and praised the LORD.
