2 Samuel 6:7-13 World English Bible (WEB)

7. Yahweh’s anger burned against Uzzah; and God struck him there for his error; and he died there by God’s ark.

8. David was displeased, because Yahweh had broken out against Uzzah; and he called that place Perez Uzzah, to this day.

9. David was afraid of Yahweh that day; and he said, “How could Yahweh’s ark come to me?”

10. So David would not move Yahweh’s ark to be with him in David’s city; but David carried it aside into Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house.

11. Yahweh’s ark remained in Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house three months; and Yahweh blessed Obed-Edom and all his house.

12. King David was told, “Yahweh has blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that belongs to him, because of God’s ark.” So David went and brought up God’s ark from the house of Obed-Edom into David’s city with joy.

13. When those who bore Yahweh’s ark had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.
