9 So David became fearful of Jehovah+ on that day and said: “How can the Ark of Jehovah come to me?”+ 10 David was not willing to bring the Ark of Jehovah to where he was in the City of David.+ Instead, David had it taken to the house of Oʹbed-eʹdom+ the Gitʹtite.

11 The Ark of Jehovah remained at the house of Oʹbed-eʹdom the Gitʹtite for three months, and Jehovah kept blessing Oʹbed-eʹdom and all his household.+
