Contextual Overview
9 They came to Kidon's threshing floor. The oxen pulling the wagon stumbled, and the Holy Box almost fell. Uzzah reached out with his hand to catch it. 10 The Lord became very angry with Uzzah and killed him because he touched the Holy Box. So Uzzah died there before God. 11 And David was angry because the Lord had shown his anger in killing Uzzah. So that place has been called "Perez Uzzah" ever since then. 12 That day David began to fear what God might do to him. So he said, "Should I really be the one in charge of God's Holy Box?" 13 So he did not take the Holy Box with him to the City of David. He left it at Obed Edom's house. Obed Edom was from the city of Gath. 14 God's Holy Box stayed with Obed Edom's family in his house for three months. The Lord blessed Obed Edom's family and everything Obed Edom owned.
