2 Samuel 6:11

Verse 11 of 23. The 6th of 24 chapters in 2 Samuel, in History.

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.

15So David and all the house of Israel brought up the LORD’s ark with shouting and with the sound of the trumpet.
