10 And David was not willing to bring the ark of the LORD to him into the city of David. But David carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite the Levite.

11 And the ark of the LORD stayed in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months. And the LORD blessed Obed-edom and all his household.

12 And they told King David, saying, The LORD has blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that [belongs] to him, because of the ark of God. And David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the city of David with gladness.
