2 Samuel 6:9-11

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁹ David was afraid of the Lord that day. “How can the ark of the Lord come to my ⌞city⌟?” he asked. ¹⁰ So David wouldn’t bring the ark of the Lord with him to the City of David. Instead, he rerouted it to the home of Obed Edom, who was from Gath. ¹¹ The ark of the Lord stayed at the home of Obed Edom from Gath for three months, and the Lord blessed Obed Edom and his whole family.
