10. So David was unwilling to take the ark of the Lord with him into the City of David. David deposited it instead at the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
11. The ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite for three months, and the Lord blessed Obed-edom and all his household.
12. When it was reported to King David that the Lord had blessed the household of Obed-edom and all that he possessed because of the ark of God, David went to bring up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the City of David with joy.
13. As soon as the bearers of the ark of the Lord had advanced six steps, he sacrificed an ox and a fatling.
14. Then David came dancing before the Lord with abandon, girt with a linen ephod.
