2 Samuel 6:8-12

2 Samuel 6:8-12 NCV

David was angry because the LORD had killed Uzzah. Now that place is called the Punishment of Uzzah. David was afraid of the LORD that day, and he said, “How can the Ark of the LORD come to me now?” So David would not move the Ark of the LORD to be with him in Jerusalem. Instead, he took it to the house of Obed-Edom, a man from Gath. The Ark of the LORD stayed in Obed-Edom’s house for three months, and the LORD blessed Obed-Edom and all his family. The people told David, “The LORD has blessed the family of Obed-Edom and all that belongs to him, because the Ark of God is there.” So David went and brought it up from Obed-Edom’s house to Jerusalem with joy.
