1 Chronicles 13:12 In-Context

10 The anger of Yahweh was kindled against Uzza, and he struck him, because he put forth his hand to the ark; and there he died before God.

11 David was displeased, because Yahweh had broken forth on Uzza; and he called that place Perez-uzza, to this day.

12 David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God home to me?

13 So David didn't move the ark to him into the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

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