1 Chronicles 13:12 in Context — 1 Chronicles 13

10 La colère de l’Éternel s’enflamma contre Uzza, et l’Éternel le frappa parce qu’il avait étendu la main sur l’arche. Uzza mourut là, devant Dieu.

11 David fut irrité de ce que l’Éternel avait frappé Uzza d’un tel châtiment. Et ce lieu a été appelé jusqu’à ce jour Pérets-Uzza.

12 David eut peur de Dieu en ce jour-là, et il dit: Comment ferais-je entrer chez moi l’arche de Dieu?

13 David ne retira pas l’arche chez lui dans la cité de David, et il la fit conduire dans la maison d’Obed-Édom de Gath.

14 L’arche de Dieu resta trois mois dans la maison d’Obed-Édom, dans sa maison. Et l’Éternel bénit la maison d’Obed-Édom et tout ce qui lui appartenait.
