7 But the Lord was angry with Uzzah and killed him for that mistake. Uzzah showed he did not honor God when he touched the Holy Box, so he died there by God’s Holy Box.
8 David was upset because the Lord had killed Uzzah. David called that place “Perez Uzzah.” It is still called Perez Uzzah today.
9 David became afraid of the Lord that day, and he said, “How can I bring God’s Holy Box here now?”
10 So David would not move the Lord’S Holy Box into the City of David. He put the Holy Box at the house of Obed Edom from Gath.
11 The Lord’S Holy Box stayed in Obed Edom’s house for three months. The Lord blessed Obed Edom and all his family.
12 Later people told David, “The Lord has blessed the family of Obed Edom and everything he owns, because God’s Holy Box is there.” So David went and brought God’s Holy Box from Obed Edom’s house. David was very happy and excited.
13 When the men who carried the Lord’S Holy Box had walked six steps, they stopped and David sacrificed a bull and a fat calf.
