Bewazi yini ukuthi u-Uza wafa?? Kwakubonakala sengathi u-Uza wayenezinhloso ezinhle kuphela futhi wayefuna ukuvimbela umphongolo kaNkulunkulu ukuba ungawi? U-Uza wathinta umkhumbi wafa. Wenzani u-Uza? Kungani uNkulunkulu ebulele u-Uza ngokuthinta umphongolo?
UDavide wanquma ukuwubuyisela umphongolo kaNkulunkulu eJerusalema
Umphongolo kaNkulunkulu wema eKiriyatjeharimi. Ezinsukwini zikaSawule, abantwana bakwa-Israyeli ababuzanga nhlobo ngomphongolo kaNkulunkulu. Cha, akekho owayenendaba ngomphongolo kaNkulunkulu.

Bathwala umphongolo kaNkulunkulu ngenqola entsha, endlini ka-Abinadaba.
U-Uza no-Ahiyo bahola inqola.

UNkulunkulu wamshaya u-Uza, wafa u-Uza
Kodwa intukuthelo kaJehova yamvuthela u-Uza, uNkulunkulu wamshaya u-Uza. Kungani uNkulunkulu amshaya u-Uza? Ngoba u-Uza wayelule isandla sakhe ukubamba umphongolo kaNkulunkulu. Ngakho u-Uza wafa phambi kukaNkulunkulu (1 IziKronike 13:9-10).
UDavide wacasuka. Kungani uDavide ecasukile? Kungani uDavide amthukuthelela uNkulunkulu ngo-Uza? UDavide wacasuka ngenxa yokuthi uNkulunkulu wayemhlasele u-Uza.
UDavid wamesaba uNkulunkulu futhi ngicabanga ukuthi nebandla lonke lamesaba uNkulunkulu. Ngakho uDavida kawulethanga kuye umtshokotsho kaNkulunkulu, kodwa endlini kaObede Edomi, i-Gettite.
Umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaNkulunkulu wahlala endlini ka-Obede Edomi izinyanga ezintathu. UJehova wayibusisa indlu ka-Obede Edomi (2 Samuweli 6, 1 IziKronike 13)
Ukuhlubuka eZwini likaNkulunkulu

UDavide wabuza umuntu esikhundleni sikaNkulunkulu
Okokuqala nje, UDavide akazange abuze uNkulunkulu mayelana nokubuyisela umphongolo wesivumelwano. Kodwa uDavida wacebisana lezinduna labo bonke abaholi.
Ngokuba anikwenzanga ekuqaleni, uJehova uNkulunkulu wethu wafohla phezu kwethu, ngokuba asimfunanga ngokwesimiso (1 IziKronike 15:13)
Umphongolo wawungathwalwa amaLevi
Okwesibili, UDavide akazange agcine imiyalo kaNkulunkulu: ukuthi amaLevi ahlukaniswa futhi amiswa uNkulunkulu ukuba anakekele futhi athwale (thwala) umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova, ngemva kokuba sebezingcwelisile.
Ngaleso sikhathi uJehova wasahlukanisa isizwe sakwaLevi, ukuthwala umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova, ukuma phambi kweNkosi ukuyikhonza, nokubusisa eGameni laKhe, kuze kube lamuhla. (Duteronomi 10:8)

UDavide wabutha wonke u-Israyeli eJerusalema, ukukhuphula umphongolo weNkosi endaweni yawo, ayekulungisele yona (1 IziKronike 15:1-3)
Abazange bawuthwale emahlombe abo umkhumbi kodwa ngenqola eyazakhela yona
Okwesithathu, babewubeke umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova enqoleni eyazenzela yona, esikhundleni sokuthwala umphongolo ngezinti emahlombe abo, njengalokho uNkulunkulu emyalile uMose.
Wozifaka izinti emasongweni ezinhlangothini zomphongolo, ukuze umkhumbi uthwalwe ngazo. Izinti ziyakuba semasongweni omphongolo: aziyikususwa kuyo (Eksodusi 25:14,15)
Ngaleso sikhathi uJehova wasahlukanisa isizwe sakwaLevi, ukuthwala umphongolo wesivumelwano sikaJehova, ukuma phambi kweNkosi ukuyikhonza, nokubusisa eGameni laKhe, kuze kube lamuhla. (Duteronomi 10:8)
U-Uza wafa ngoba u-Uza wayengeyena umLevi futhi wathinta umphongolo ongcwele kaNkulunkulu
Futhi okokugcina, okuyisizathu futhi esenza ukuthi u-Uza afe: U-Uza wathinta umphongolo kaNkulunkulu, ngenkathi u-Uza wayengeyena umLevi futhi engangcweliswanga futhi enziwe ngcwele ukuze athinte umphongolo ongcwele kaNkulunkulu.

Lezi zinto zingumthwalo wamadodana kaKohati etendeni lokuhlangana (Isintu 4:15)
Intukuthelo kaJehova yamvuthela u-Uza, wamshaya, ngoba wabeka isandla sakhe emkhunjini: wafela khona lapho phambi kukaNkulunkulu (1 IziKronike 13:10)
