Here's God setting a trap for Uzza.
1 Chronicles 13
9: When they came to the threshing floor of Kidon, Uzzah reached out his hand to steady the ark, because the oxen stumbled
10: The LORD's anger burned against Uzzah, and he struck him down because he had put his hand on the ark. So he died there before God
What a fucking scumbag. Kills a bloke for trying to stop the Ark falling on the floor.
What should Uzza have done here? Let the ark fall to the floor and smash, so that God could kill him for allowing it to fall to the floor?
God seems sometimes like one of those medieval Kings who would viciously maltreat their servants, and all their courtiers were obliged to laugh along at the abuse as if it was some sort of joke.

I must not be nasty. I must not be nasty. I must not be nasty. I must not be nasty. I must not be nasty. I must not be nasty. I must not be nasty. I must not be nasty.
