1 Chronicles 13:13 In-Context

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.
