you, and if this

our God, let us send word

to
the
rest
of
our brothers
in all the land of Israel, and

are
left
in all the land of Israel, with
whom
the priests and Levites are
in their cities that
have
suburbs
, that they may gather
themselves
unto
us ;
Then
let us bring back
the ark of our God ,
for we did
not inquire
of
Him
in the days of Saul. ”

let us bring again
the ark of our God to
us:

not unto

because he had

the ark .
So
he died there
before God.

angry
because the
LORD

forth against

him into
the city of David, but
carried
it aside into
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
.
And
the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house three months :
and Jehovah
blessed the
house
of
Obed-edom,
and all
that
he had
.
