Evangelical Heritage Version
2 Samuel 6:10-12
Evangelical Heritage Version
10 David was not willing to move the Ark of the Lord to himself in the City of David.
So David diverted the ark to the house of Obed Edom the Gittite. 11 The Ark of the Lord remained at the house of Obed Edom the Gittite for three months, and the Lord blessed Obed Edom and his whole household. 12 David was told, “Because of the Ark of God, the Lord has blessed the house of Obed Edom and all that belongs to him.”[a]
With rejoicing, David went and brought up the Ark of God from the house of Obed Edom to the City of David.
