2 Samuel 6:10
Verse 10 of 23. The 6th of 24 chapters in 2 Samuel, in History.
6When they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached for God’s ark and took hold of it, for the cattle stumbled.
7The LORD’s anger burned against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his error; and he died there by God’s ark.
8David was displeased because the LORD had broken out against Uzzah; and he called that place Perez Uzzah to this day.
9David was afraid of the LORD that day; and he said, “How could the LORD’s ark come to me?”
10So David would not move the LORD’s ark to be with him in David’s city; but David carried it aside into Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house.
11The LORD’s ark remained in Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house three months; and the LORD blessed Obed-Edom and all his house.
12King David was told, “The LORD has blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that belongs to him, because of God’s ark.” So David went and brought up God’s ark from the house of Obed-Edom into David’s city with joy.
13When those who bore the LORD’s ark had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.
14David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was clothed in a linen ephod.
