God in a Box

I Chronicles 13:9 And when they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzzah put out his hand to take hold of the ark, for the oxen stumbled. 10 And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah, and he struck him down because he put out his hand to the ark, and he died there before God. 11 And David was angry because the Lord had broken out against Uzzah. And that place is called Perez-uzza [7] to this day. 12 And David was afraid of God that day, and he said, “How can I bring the ark of God home to me?” 13 So David did not take the ark home into the city of David, but took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite. 14 And the ark of God remained with the household of Obed-edom in his house three months. And the Lord blessed the household of Obed-edom and all that he had.

So this God that I believe in seems completely weird to me sometimes, and I think David feels the same way here. Uzzah is walking along beside the ark. The oxen stumble. Uzzah reaches out to keep it from falling [we assume that's why he touched it]. God strikes him dead. David is angry [with God or with Ussah, I'm not sure]. And then, this dangerous God-box is brought to Obed-edom's house and he is totally blessed. - I don't get it. The irony is that you cannot put God in a box!
