Joe: Alright, so let's get into it. What's the deal with 2 Samuel 6?

Bible Expert: Well, Joe, it begins by King David bringing the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem and celebrating the occasion with a great parade.

Joe: Wow! That sounds like a great time!

Bible Expert: It was quite the spectacle. David was dancing and singing with all his might, and even removed his royal garments and danced in a linen ephod.

Joe: Whoa, Jamie, look up what an ephod is!

Jamie: (checking Google) It's a type of vestment worn by priests in Biblical times.

Joe: Oh, cool. So what happened next?

Bible Expert: Well, Uzzah, a man who was helping to carry the Ark of the Covenant, stumbled and put out his hand to steady it. God was so angry that he immediately struck him down, and that made David so afraid that he left the Ark at the house of Obed-Edom for three months.

Joe: Wait, why was God so angry?

Bible Expert: Well, it was against the rules of the covenant that the Israelites were to follow. The Ark was very sacred and only special priests were allowed to handle it. Uzzah was not a priest, so God punished him for breaking the rules.

Joe: Interesting. So what happened next?

Bible Expert: After three months, David brought the Ark back to Jerusalem and celebrated with a great feast and sacrifices. Everyone rejoiced, and David praised God for his mercy and faithfulness.
