1 Chronicles 13:12 In-Context

10 The anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah; he struck him down because he put out his hand to the ark; and he died there before God.

11 David was angry because the Lord had burst out against Uzzah; so that place is called Perez-uzzah to this day.

12 David was afraid of God that day; he said, "How can I bring the ark of God into my care?"

13 So David did not take the ark into his care into the city of David; he took it instead to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

14 The ark of God remained with the household of Obed-edom in his house three months, and the Lord blessed the household of Obed-edom and all that he had.
