The simple truth about the matter is that you all like Lies
Because you can’t be see the seriousness of lying and bearing false witness, that why the world is like it is
There are many examples in the Bible of those who honored individuals in authority, even when these misused or abused their authority. David was one such fine example. King Saul, under whom he served, became jealous of David’s achievements and sought to kill him. (1 Samuel 18:8-12)
Still, though having opportunities to kill Saul, David said: It is unthinkable, on my part, from Jehovah’s standpoint, to thrust my hand out against the anointed of Jehovah!” (1 Samuel 24:3-6; 26:7-13)
David knew that Saul was in the wrong, but he left it up to Jehovah to judge him. So is the same today, true Christian know when Jehovah day come you will all have the same opportunity as I do, you can’t say I did not know.

Kromovaracun-Some have ask: Why did Jehovah react so strongly Uzzah was only trying to save the Ark. Before you draw the wrong conclusion, you do well to note some helpful details.
Keep in mind that Uzzah should have known better.
The Ark was associated with Jehovah’s presence. The Law specified that it was not to be touched by unauthorized individuals, explicitly warning that violators would be punished by death. (Numbers 4:18-20; 7:89)
Therefore, the transfer of that sacred chest was not a task to be treated lightly. Uzzah evidently was a Levite (though not a priest), so he should have been familiar with the Law. Besides, years earlier the Ark had been moved to the house of his father for safekeeping. (1 Samuel 6:20–7:1)
It had stayed there for some 70 years, until David chose to move it. So from childhood on, Uzzah had likely been aware of the laws regarding the Ark.

Right.
So he deserved to be killed for putting a hand out to steady it because it was 'associated with Jehovah's presence'. Okay then. Frankly, I'm glad we're at a point where such barbaric disproportions are considered immoral. The fact that you have not is the best argument I can think of for ignoring the bible's moral codes.
Had Uzzah been raised to believe that Yahweh was loving and compassionate, I can see why he might have made the mistake of thinking his god was not psychopathic enough to murder him for such a transgression.
I suppose David's baby also deserved to be slowly murdered for the crime of existing, as well.
