10 Og David vilde ikke flytte Herrens ark op til sig i Davids stad, men lot den føre bort til gittitten Obed-Edoms hus.

11 Herrens ark blev stående i gittitten Obed-Edoms hus i tre måneder, og Herren velsignet Obed-Edom og alt hans hus.

12 Så kom det nogen og fortalte kong David at Herren hadde velsignet Obed-Edoms hus og alt det han hadde, for Guds arks skyld. Da tok David avsted og førte Guds ark fra Obed-Edoms hus op til Davids stad med stor glede.

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.
