Wilson's Dictionary of Bible Types [2]
Exodus 20:25 (c) There are to be no human schemes nor designs used in the service of God. The Lord has told how to handle His work, and He expects it to be done by His people in His way. An illustration is found in the way David tried to bring up the ark on a new cart. It was a plan of the Philistines, but it was not GOD's plan. GOD's work must be done in GOD's way. (See Deuteronomy 27:5; 1 Kings 6:7).
