I have already shown that King David was present throughout. The King
would, by definition, been responsible for the behavior of those under
his command. He could have commanded the ark to be transported in the
correct manner. He did not.

Tim
As I have already shown, this statement is factually incorrect. David
was present throughout, yet David was not killed.

Jeff has made a great many assumptions here, few if any of which he
has demonstrated textually. We are still left with the murder of man,
without warning.

Jeff has not shown that Uzzah had aprori knowledge that he was
sinning.

Jeff has not explained why King David bore responsibility, since he
was present.

Hence, we are left with the murder of a man, in anger as the text
demonstrates, and without compassion.

Have you noticed a tendency in YHWH to protect his boy David even when
he willfully sins against this "holy God"? In the Uzza incident he is
not harmed though he is present, king and responsible for his people's
actions with the ark. David knew the ark shouldn't be carried this way
and so did all the Levites that were present.

In the numering of Israel, it is David that sins, although "move" by
YHWH/Satan, but 70 000 Isrealites are killed in his stead. In the
incident with Bathing Beauty Bathsheba, David and BBB should both have
died for their adultry, so said YHWH's "perfect" law, but YHWH instead
killed their firstborn.

YHWH has a long track record of punishing/killing the wrong people.
Perhaps his "holy" and "just" attributes were on hold during those
incidents? But then again it will probably be argued that YHWH has
mercy on whom he will and hardens (kills) whom he will, no matter how
innocent they may *appear* to us. I guess it's like Matt said: they're
his creatures and he may dispose of them as he wills. Praise the Lord
for his great mercy!
