King James Version (KJV)

2 Samuel 6:9

“And David was afraid of the LORD that day, and said, How shall the ark of the LORD come to me?”

Verse in context — 2 Samuel 6

And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah; and God smote him there for [his] error; and there he died by the ark of God.

And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzzah: and he called the name of the place Perezuzzah to this day.

And David was afraid of the LORD that day, and said, How shall the ark of the LORD come to me?

So David would not remove the ark of the LORD unto him into the city of David: but David carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gittite.

And the ark of the LORD continued in the house of Obededom the Gittite three months: and the LORD blessed Obededom, and all his household.

David’s reign as king, his triumphs and failures, and God’s covenant with him.
