7. the Lord’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 the Lord had broken out against Uzzah; and he called that place Perez Uzzah, to this day.
9. David was afraid of the Lord that day; and he said, “How could the Lord’s ark come to me?”
10. So David would not move the Lord’s ark to be with him in David’s city; but David carried it aside into Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house.
11. the Lord’s ark remained in Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house three months; and the Lord blessed Obed-Edom and all his house.
12. King David was told, “The Lord 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.

16. As the Lord’s ark came into David’s city, Michal the daughter of Saul looked out through the window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart.
