   SB:CSOT   
      
   General   
      
       • Beware of presumption and irreverence when dealing with holy things   
         (Brooks 82).   
      
       • Good intentions never justify rash actions in the approach to God   
         (Brooks 82).   
      
   Christ   
      
       • It is dangerous to lay unsanctified hands on the person, virgin   
         birth, atonement, or resurrection of Christ (Brooks 82).   
      
   WWBC   
      
   General   
      
       • A unanimous decision is not inherently a right decision (Wiersbe 1   
         Ch 13).   
      
       • Enthusiasm is an insufficient test for the truth of an action   
         (Wiersbe 1 Ch 13).   
      
       • Human methods without divine direction ultimately lead to failure   
         (Wiersbe 1 Ch 13).   
      
   Christ   
      
       • The throne of God does not depend on human hands for support or   
         protection (Wiersbe 1 Ch 13).   
      
   Church   
      
       • The time to discover how to do God's work is before the task begins   
         rather than after a failure (Wiersbe 1 Ch 13).   
      
   ESVGTSB:N   
      
   General   
      
       • Bringing the ark to Jerusalem signifies the submission of human   
         kingship to the rule of Yahweh (Van Pelt 505).   
      
       • God's demand for perfection in worship highlights the danger of   
         inappropriate approach (Van Pelt 505).   
      
   Christ   
      
       • David serves as a temporary vassal king who points to the true and   
         final King yet to come (Van Pelt 505).   
      
       • The standard of perfection in worship has been met eternally   
         through the once-for-all work of Jesus Christ (Van Pelt 505).   
      
   Church   
      
       • New covenant worship is motivated by confidence in God's grace   
         rather than the fear of failing to meet obligations (Van Pelt 505).   
      
       • Believers may draw near to the throne of grace with confidence   
         because of the finished work of their High Priest (Van Pelt 505).   
      
   NIVBST:N   
      
   General   
      
       • Restoring the ark to a place of honor is the essential first step   
         in putting a nation back on track spiritually (NIVBST 545).   
      
       • Proper respect for God's holiness necessitates strict adherence to   
         His prescribed instructions (NIVBST 546).   
      
       • Divine holiness is perilous to the presumptuous but brings goodness   
         and blessing to the reverent (NIVBST 546).   
      
   Church   
      
       • Godly leadership seeks agreement from both God and the people   
         before taking action (NIVBST 545).   
      
   NIVACB   
      
   General   
      
       • The transfer of the ark represents a spiritual journey of   
         restoration after a period of neglect (Beetham 331).   
      
       • The image of God enthroned between the cherubim identifies the ark   
         as the place where God meets His people (Beetham 331).   
      
       • David's refusal to press on with the ark shows his submission to   
         God's will and a refusal to manipulate sacred things (Beetham 332).   
      
   Church   
      
       • God requires proper means and methods to achieve ends that are good   
         and right (Beetham 332).   
      
   BTCB 1-2Ch   
      
   General   
      
       • The ark account is structured chiastically to emphasize David's   
         planning, failure, and eventual success (Leithart 48).   
      
   Church   
      
       • The work of restoring the presence of God is a corporate endeavor   
         involving the king, nobles, and all the people together (Leithart   
         49).   
      
   TOTC   
      
   General   
      
       • Dynamic holiness cannot be contained within human limitations or   
         handled with over-familiarity (Selman 156).   
      
       • Seeking God represents a move away from monarchical absolutism   
         toward constant dependence on the Lord (Selman 157).   
      
       • Worshiping the true God requires rejecting contemporary pagan   
         practices in favor of divine instructions (Selman 159).   
      
   Christ   
      
       • The cultic holiness associated with the ark has been superseded by   
         the superior work of Christ (Selman 159).   
      
       • The truth that God is a consuming fire remains a valid New   
         Testament reality (Selman 160).   
      
   Church   
      
       • The unexpected judgment of Uzzah finds a New Testament parallel in   
         the sudden judgment of Ananias and Sapphira (Selman 160).   
      
   WBC Vol. 14   
      
   General   
      
       • Failure is consistently explained as the result of disobedience to   
         Yahweh and His Word (Hubbard 176).   
      
       • The "all Israel" theme presents the nation as a religious community   
         rather than just a military force (Hubbard 175).   
      
   NAC 1-2Ch   
      
   General   
      
       • Neglect of the ark in Saul's day was a symptom of the people's   
         failure to inquire of the Lord (Thompson 129).   
      
       • Enthusiasm for God can dangerously cause worshippers to forget the   
         holiness and fear of God (Thompson 130).   
      
   Church   
      
       • Doing what we believe is God's will while violating God's Word is   
         always offensive to Him (Thompson 130).   
      
   CSBSSB:N   
      
   General   
      
       • Right things must be done in the right way to be acceptable to a   
         jealous God (Spurgeon 526).   
      
       • Great multitudes and outward pomp do not guarantee the presence of   
         God among His people (Spurgeon 526).   
      
   Church   
      
       • Heartiness in worship can be merely natural and dead if it lacks   
         spiritual life and preparatory supplication (Spurgeon 526).   
      
   POSB KJV 1Ch   
      
   General   
      
       • Seeking the presence of God is the only way for a society to find   
         true peace and security (POSB 101).   
      
       • Fear of the Lord is an absolute essential for any person attempting   
         to approach Him (POSB 102).   
      
   Christ   
      
       • The better covenant available through the person of Jesus Christ   
         replaces the old symbols of God's presence (POSB 101).   
      
       • Approach to God is only acceptable through the narrow way of Christ   
         and His finished work (POSB 103).   
      
   Church   
      
       • Believers must cleanse themselves from filthiness and perfect   
         holiness in the fear of God (POSB 103).
