2 Samuel 6:9-11

Expanded Bible

⁹ David was afraid of the Lord that day, and he said, “How can the Ark of the Lord come ·to me [into my care] now?” ¹⁰ So David ·would not [^Lwas unwilling to] move the Ark of the Lord to be with him in ·Jerusalem [^Lthe City of David]. Instead, he took it to the house of Obed-Edom, ·a man from Gath [the Gittite]. ¹¹ The Ark of the Lord stayed in Obed-Edom’s house for three months, and the Lord blessed Obed-Edom and all his ·family [household].
