#120: 2 Samuel 6-7 | God kills Uzzah and David dances nearly naked

The ark of the covenant has caused lots of trouble. After stealing the ark, God plagued the Philistines with hemorrhoids in their secret parts, then he killed 50,070 people because someone looked into the ark. Years later, David decided to go get the ark and bring it to Jerusalem. Along the way, the oxen stumbled and the ark began to fall, and a man named Uzzah tried to prevent it from falling. And God kills him for it. While bringing the ark to Jerusalem, David danced nearly naked in front of God and everyone. When his wife, Michal, complained about it, God punished her by preventing her from having children. The text and notes for this episode can be found here.
