Context of 1 Chronicles 13:12
10The anger of the Lord burned against Uzza, and He struck him down because he touched the ark; and there he died before God. 11David became angry because of the Lord’s outburst against Uzza; so that place is called Perez-uzza to this day. David was afraid of God that day, and he said, “How can I bring the ark of God home with me?” 13So David did not bring the ark with him to the City of David, but took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite. 14So the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house three months; and the Lord blessed the house of Obed-edom and all that he had.
