1 Chronicles 13:14

Protection and safety

12 That day David feared God and asked, “How can I ever bring the ark of God to me?”

13 So he did not move the ark with him to the City of David; instead, he took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

Thus the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house for three months, and the LORD blessed his household and everything he owned.
