1 Chronicles 13:12 In-Context

10 Then the Lord's anger burned against Uzzah, and He struck him dead because he had reached out to the ark. So he died there in the presence of God.

11 David was angry because of the Lord's outburst against Uzzah, so he named that place Outburst Against Uzzah, as it is [still named] today.

12 David feared God that day, and said, "How can I ever bring the ark of God to me?"

13 So David did not move the ark of God home to the city of David; instead, he took it to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

14 The ark of God remained with Obed-edom's family in his house for three months, and the Lord blessed his family and all that he had.
