10 Now the land south was called Lehi, and the land north was called Mulek, which was after the son of Zedekiah; for the Lord did bring Mulek into the land north, and Lehi into the land south.

11 And behold, there was all manner of gold in both these lands, and of silver, and of precious ore of every kind; and there were also curious workmen, who did work all kinds of ore and did refine it; and thus they did become rich.

12 They did raise grain in abundance, both in the north and in the south; and they did flourish exceedingly, both in the north and in the south. And they did multiply and wax exceedingly strong in the land. And they did raise many flocks and herds, yea, many fatlings.

10 Davi não quis levar a arca do Senhor para junto de si, na Cidade de Davi, mas fez com que fosse levada para a casa de Obede-Edom, o geteu. 11 Assim, a arca do Senhor ficou na casa de Obede-Edom, o geteu, durante três meses, e o Senhor o abençoou e a toda a sua casa.

12 Avisaram o rei Davi, dizendo:

— O Senhor abençoou a casa de Obede-Edom e tudo o que ele tem, por causa da arca de Deus.

Então Davi foi e, com alegria, trouxe a arca de Deus da casa de Obede-Edom à Cidade de Davi.
