2 Samuel 6:10 (WEB)
Context Reading
8David was displeased because Yahweh had broken out against Uzzah; and he called that place Perez Uzzahto this day. 9David was afraid of Yahweh that day; and he said, “How could Yahweh’s ark come to me?” 10So David would not move Yahweh’s ark to be with him in David’s city; but David carried it aside into Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house. 11Yahweh’s ark remained in Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house three months; and Yahweh blessed Obed-Edom and all his house. 12King David was told, “Yahweh has blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that belongs to him, because of God’s ark.” So David went and brought up God’s ark from the house of Obed-Edom into David’s city with joy.
