8. David was angry because the Lord's burning anger had broken out against Uzzah. That's why the place is still called Perez Uzzah to this very day.
9. David was afraid of the Lord that day. He asked, "How can the ark of the Lord ever be brought to me?"
10. He didn't want to take the ark of the Lord to be with him in the City of David. Instead, he took it to the house of Obed-Edom. Obed-Edom was from Gath.
11. The ark of the Lord remained in Obed-Edom's house for three months. And the Lord blessed him and his whole family.
12. King David was told, "The Lord has blessed the family of Obed-Edom. He has also blessed everything that belongs to him. That's because the ark of God is in Obed-Edom's house." So David went down there and brought up the ark. With great joy he brought it up from the house of Obed-Edom. He took it to the City of David.
