2 Samuel 6:9 in Context — 2 Samuel 6

7 La colère de l’Éternel s’enflamma contre Uzza, et Dieu le frappa sur place à cause de sa faute. Uzza mourut là, près de l’arche de Dieu.

8 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.

9 David eut peur de l’Éternel en ce jour-là, et il dit: Comment l’arche de l’Éternel entrerait-elle chez moi?

10 Il ne voulut pas retirer l’arche de l’Éternel chez lui dans la cité de David, et il la fit conduire dans la maison d’Obed-Édom de Gath.

11 L’arche de l’Éternel resta trois mois dans la maison d’Obed-Édom de Gath, et l’Éternel bénit Obed-Édom et toute sa maison.
