9 David was afraid of the Lord that day; and he said, “How could the Lord’s ark come to me?”
10 So 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.
11 the Lord’s ark remained in Obed-Edom the Gittite’s house three months; and the Lord blessed Obed-Edom and all his house.
12 King 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.
13 When those who bore the Lord’s ark had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.
14 David danced before the Lord with all his might; and David was clothed in a linen ephod.
15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the Lord’s ark with shouting, and with the sound of the shofar.
