2 Samuel 6:10

Compare all

8 And David became angry because of the Lord’s outbreak against Uzzah; and he called the name of the place¹ Perez Uzzah to this day.

9 ^aDavid was afraid of the Lord that day; and he said, “How can the ark of the Lord come to me?”

10 So David would not move the ark of the Lord with him into the ^aCity of David; but David took it aside into the house of Obed-Edom the ^bGittite.

11 ^aThe ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite three months. And the Lord ^bblessed Obed-Edom and all his household.

12 Now it was told King David, saying, “The Lord has blessed the house of Obed-Edom and all that belongs to him, because of the ark of God.” ^aSo David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom to the City of David with gladness.

13 And so it was, when ^athose bearing the ark of the Lord had gone six paces, that he sacrificed ^boxen and fatted sheep.

But David carried it aside - The house of Obed-edom appears to have been very near the city, which they were about to enter, but were prevented by this accident, and lodged the ark with the nearest friend.
