2 Sa 6:6-11

But when they came to the threshing floor of Nacon,
Uzzah reached out toward the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen nearly upset it.

And the anger of the LORD burned against Uzzah,
and God struck him down there for his irreverence; and he died there by the ark of God.

David became angry because of the LORD’S outburst against Uzzah,
and that place is called Perez-uzzah to this day.

So David was afraid of the LORD that day; and he said,
“How can the ark of the LORD come to me?”

And David was unwilling to move the ark of the LORD into the city of David with him;
but David took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

Thus the ark of the LORD remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite three months,
and the LORD blessed Obed-edom and all his household.

The oxen pulling the cart with the Ark stumbled.
Uzzah, apparently spontaneously “without thinking”, reached out and touch the Ark to stabilize it.

The anger of the Lord burned against Uzzah.
The Lord struck Uzzah down for the irreverence.
Uzzah died.

David was then angry.
Angry with Who?
God!
He was angry with the outburst of God!
They actually named the place based upon this event Perez-uzzzah (breakthrough of Uzzah).

David was then afraid.
First angry.
Now afraid.
He questioned how he was to take the Ark unto himself?

David then was unwilling to move the ark.
They took it to the house of Obed0edom the Gittite.
Ostensibly until they decided what to do.

The ark remained there three months.
The Lord blessed Obed-edom and all his household.

Wonder what the blessing was?

What was David doing in the meanwhile?

We will see.

A hint.
It always helps to read the instructions.

Do you?
