Context of 1 Chronicles 13:14

12David was afraid of God that day. “How can I bring God’s ark to my ⌞city⌟?” he asked. 13So he didn’t bring God’s ark to his ⌞home⌟, the City of David. Instead, he rerouted it to the home of Obed Edom, who was from Gath. God’s ark stayed at the home of Obed Edom with his family for three months, and the Lord blessed Obed Edom’s family and everything he owned.
