Answer and Explanation: No. ing to the Biblical narrative, people who touched the ark would be struck dead, like Uzzah who had sinful hands. King David brought the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem to celebrate God's presence with his people.
God gives infinitely more than He ever plans to receive. We see this clearly in God's covenant with David (2 Samuel 7). God had been blessing David since childhood, but here, He makes it official. God promises David these things: fame and prestige, deep roots, safety and security, legacy, and a bright future.

God did not specify any conditions in the Davidic Covenant when He established it; thus, it is unconditional in nature, totally dependent on the faithfulness of God for the fulfillment of its promises. The genealogies in Matthew 1 and Luke 3 indicated that Jesus Christ is a physical descendant of David.

David KNEW that God would protect him. He trusted that God would be a “protective shield.” David knew that when he called out to God, God would answer Him. Hiding from Saul in caves would probably have been a scary time, but David trusted in God even though he was in danger. David knew that God was with him.
