1 Chronicles 13:11 In-Context

9 But when they came to Chidon's threshing floor, the oxen stumbled. So Uzzah reached out to grab the ark.

10 The LORD became angry with Uzzah and killed him for reaching for the ark. He died in God's presence.

11 David was angry because the LORD had struck Uzzah so violently. (That place is still called Perez Uzzah [The Striking of Uzzah] today.)

12 David was afraid of God that day. "How can I bring God's ark to my [city]?" he asked.

13 So he didn't bring God's ark to his [home], the City of David. Instead, he rerouted it to the home of Obed Edom, who was from Gath.
