10 So David did not let the ark of the Lord come back to him to the town of David: but had it turned away and put into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

11 And the ark of the Lord was in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite for three months: and the Lord sent a blessing on Obed-edom and all his family.

12 And they said to King David, The blessing of the Lord is on the family of Obed-edom and on all he has, because of the ark of God. And David went and took the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the town of David with joy.

10 Eikä Daavid tahtonut siirtää Herran arkkia tykönsä Daavidin kaupunkiin, vaan Daavid toimitti sen syrjään, gatilaisen Oobed-Edomin taloon.

11 Ja Herran arkki jäi kolmeksi kuukaudeksi gatilaisen Oobed-Edomin taloon. Ja Herra siunasi Oobed-Edomia ja koko hänen taloansa.

12 Kun kuningas Daavidille kerrottiin, että Herra oli Jumalan arkin tähden siunannut Oobed-Edomin taloa ja kaikkea, mitä hänellä oli, niin Daavid meni ja toi riemuiten Jumalan arkin Oobed-Edomin talosta Daavidin kaupunkiin.
