God struck him down because he touched the arc of the covenant which was some the Israelites were forbidden to do under any circumstances.
No, Uzzah was not a Levite. He was an Israelite from the tribe of Judah.
The man who died for touching the Ark of the Covenant was named Uzzah.2 Samuel 6:6, 7 - And when they came to Nachon's threshing floor, Uzzah put out his hand to the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen stumbled. Then the anger of the Lord was aroused against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his error; and he died there by the ark of God. [NKJV]
Throughout much of its biblical narrative, the Ark has brought death to those around it, although not necessarily immediately. In this case, David was 'displeased' because the Lord had killed Uzzah for merely touching the Ark in order to help steady it. David was then afraid to have the Ark brought to him, out of fear of what could happen.
2 Samuel 6:8 Then David was angry because the LORD's wrath had broken out against Uzzah, and to this day that place is called Perez Uzzah.9 David was afraid of the LORD that day and said, "How can the ark of the LORD ever come to me?" 10 He was not willing to take the ark of the LORD to be with him in the City of David. Instead, he took it aside to the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite. 11 The ark of the LORD remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite for three months, and the LORD blessed him and his entire household.
Uzzah died for touching the ark because he violated the Lord's command by touching it. The ark was considered holy and only designated priests were allowed to handle it. Uzzah's action showed a lack of reverence and respect for the sacredness of the ark.
Uzzah died at God's hand for irreverently touching the ark. Earlier, in Moses' time Korah and his family were swallowed by the earth in an earthquake as God's punishment for their rebellion.
David brought the Ark of the Covenant to Mt Zion in Jerusalem from the house of Abinadab in Gibeah. It was placed in a temporary tabernacle.
Uzziah: King of Judah, son and successor of Amaziah. He rebuilt Elath, port on the Gulf of Aqaba. He was stricken with leprosy after usurping the duties of high priest. He was succeeded by Jotham. William F. Albright has dated his reign to 783 BC-742 BC, while E. R. Thiele offers the dates 767 BC-740 BC.
