8. David was angry because the lord’s anger had burst out against Uzzah. He named that place Perez-uzzah (which means “to burst out against Uzzah”), as it is still called today.
9. David was now afraid of the lord, and he asked, “How can I ever bring the Ark of the lord back into my care?”
10. So David decided not to move the Ark of the lord into the City of David. Instead, he took it to the house of Obed-edom of Gath.
11. The Ark of the lord remained there in Obed-edom’s house for three months, and the lord blessed Obed-edom and his entire household.
12. Then King David was told, “The lord has blessed Obed-edom’s household and everything he has because of the Ark of God.” So David went there and brought the Ark of God from the house of Obed-edom to the City of David with a great celebration.
