2 Samuel 6 — Context

8

David became angry because of the LORD'S outburst against Uzzah, and that place is called Perez-uzzah to this day.

9

So David was afraid of the LORD that day; and he said, "How can the ark of the LORD come to me?"

10

And David was unwilling to move the ark of the LORD into the city of David with him; but David took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

11

Thus the ark of the LORD remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months, and the LORD blessed Obed-edom and all his household.

12

Now it was told King David, saying, "The LORD has blessed the house of Obed-edom and all that belongs to him, on account of the ark of God." David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the city of David with gladness.

13

And so it was, that when the bearers of the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fatling.

14

And David was dancing before the LORD with all his might, and David was wearing a linen ephod.
