2 SAMUEL 6:10 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“So David would not remove the ark of the Lord unto him into the city of David: but David carried it aside into the house of Obed–edom the Gittite.”
So David would not take the ark of the LORD into the city of David; but David took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite — David redirects the ark to Obed-edom's house rather than Jerusalem. The decision reflects caution: if David cannot properly house the ark, better to place it with one whose house might be blessed. Obed-edom, a non-Israelite, becomes the ark's temporary custodian.
