9. And David was very fearful of the Lord on that day, saying, "How shall the ark of the Lord be brought to me?"
10. And he was not willing to send the ark of the Lord to himself in the city of David. Instead, he sent it into the house of Obededom, the Gittite.
11. And the ark of the Lord dwelt in the house of Obededom the Gittite, for three months. And the Lord blessed Obededom, and all his household.
12. And it was reported to king David that the Lord had blessed Obededom, and all that was his, because of the ark of God. Therefore, David went and brought the ark of God, from the house of Obededom, into the city of David with joy. And there were with David seven choirs, and calves for victims.
13. And when those who were carrying the ark of the Lord had traveled six steps, he immolated an ox and a ram.
14. And David danced with all his ability before the Lord. And David was girded with the linen ephod.
15. And David, and all the house of Israel, were leading the ark of the testament of the Lord, with jubilation and the sound of the trumpet.
