9 David feared the Lord that day and said, “How can the ark of the Lord ever come to me? ”
10 So he was not willing to move the ark of the Lord to the city of David; instead, he took it to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
11 The ark of the Lord remained in his house three months, and the Lord blessed Obed-edom and his whole family.
12 It was reported to King David: “The Lord has blessed Obed-edom’s family and all that belongs to him because of the ark of God.” So David went and had the ark of God brought up from Obed-edom’s house to the city of David with rejoicing.
13 When those carrying the ark of the Lord advanced six steps, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.
14 David was dancing with all his might before the Lord wearing a linen ephod.
15 He and the whole house of Israel were bringing up the ark of the Lord with shouts and the sound of the ram’s horn.
