1 Chronicles 13:12 In-Context

10 God erupted in anger against Uzzah and killed him because he grabbed the Chest. He died on the spot - in the presence of God.
11 David lost his temper, angry because God exploded against Uzzah; the place is still called Perez Uzzah (Exploded Uzzah).
12 David was terrified of God that day; he said, "How can I possibly continue this parade with the Chest of God?"
13 So David called off the parade of the Chest to the City of David; instead he stored it in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.
14 The Chest of God was in storage in the house of Obed-Edom for three months. God blessed the family of Obed-Edom and everything around him.
