1 Chronicles 13:6

King James Version (KJV)

And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kirjath-jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the Lord, that dwelleth between the cherubims, whose name is called on it.

Adam Clarke
Bible Commentary

Whose name is called on it - "Where his name is invoked." - T.

And so the Hebrew, שם נקרא אשר asher nikra shem, should be understood, his name was not called on it, but invoked at it.

Matthew Henry
Concise Bible Commentary

Let the sin of Uzza warn all to take heed of presumption, rashness, and irreverence, in dealing with holy things; and let none think that a good design will justify a bad action. Let the punishment of Uzza teach us not to dare to trifle with God in our approaches to him; yet let us, through Christ, come boldly to the throne of grace. If the gospel be to some a savour of death unto death, as the ark was to Uzza, yet let us receive it in the love of it, and it will be to us a savour of life unto life.
