No, David did not touch the Ark of the Covenant. According to the biblical account in 2 Samuel 6, when the Ark was being transported, Uzzah reached out to steady it and was struck dead for his actions, as it was forbidden to touch the Ark.

Throughout much of its biblical narrative, the Ark has brought death to those around it, although not necessarily immediately.
