1 Chronicles 13:12 In-Context

10 But the LORD became angry with Uzzah and struck him because he had placed his hand on the chest. He died right there before God.

11 David was angry that the LORD lashed out at Uzzah; and so that place is still called Perez-uzzah today.

12 David was frightened by God that day. "How will I ever bring God's chest home to me?" he asked.

13 So David didn't take the chest away with him to David's City. Instead, he had it put in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

14 God's chest stayed with Obed-edom's household for three months, and the LORD blessed Obed-edom's household and all that he had.
