Paradox #1

The contradiction or conflict in 1 Chronicles 13:11 could arise from the perception of unfairness in God's anger. Uzzah is punished for touching the Ark of the Covenant, an act that seems well-intentioned as he tries to prevent it from falling. This might seem inconsistent with the notion of a just and compassionate God because Uzzah's intentions may have been to protect a holy object, yet he faces severe consequences.
