         symbol of God’s presence, not a magical object; David respected   
         this distinction during his reign (Tsumura 106–07).   
      
       • Uzzah’s death paralleled earlier outbreaks, highlighting that   
         improper handling of God’s holiness brings severe consequences even   
         when well-meant (Tsumura 112–13).   
      
       • David’s fear after Uzzah’s death reflected proper awe, a necessary   
         posture for those who draw near the God enthroned between the   
         cherubim (Tsumura 113).   
      
       • Ancient parallels show that transferring a deity’s symbol to a new   
         royal city established that deity’s rule there; David’s procession   
         signaled Yahweh’s enthronement in Zion (Tsumura 108–09).   
      
       • Michal’s disdain for David’s worship stemmed from aristocratic   
         pride and her Saul-like disposition, contrasting David’s humility   
         before the Lord (Tsumura 121–23).

   --   
   Have you heard the good news Christ died for our sins (†), and God   
   raised Him from the dead?   
      
   That Christ died for our sins shows we're sinners who deserve the death   
   penalty. That God raised Him from the dead shows Christ's death   
   satisfied God's righteous demands against our sin (Romans 3:25; 1 John   
   2:1-2). This means God can now remain just, while forgiving you of your   
   sins, and saving you from eternal damnation.   
      
   On the basis of Christ's death and resurrection for our sins, call on   
   the name of the Lord to save you: "For 'everyone who calls on the name   
   of the Lord will be saved'" (Romans 10:13, ESV).
