'Ark of the Lord' in the Bible

David feared the Lord that day and said, “How can the ark of the Lord ever come to me?”

So he was not willing to move the ark of the Lord to the city of David; instead, he took it to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

The ark of the Lord remained in his house three months, and the Lord blessed Obed-edom and his whole family.

When those carrying the ark of the Lord advanced six steps, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.

He and the whole house of Israel were bringing up the ark of the Lord with shouts and the sound of the ram’s horn.

As the ark of the Lord was entering the city of David, Saul’s daughter Michal looked down from the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, and she despised him in her heart.

They brought the ark of the Lord and set it in its place inside the tent David had set up for it. Then David offered burnt offerings and fellowship offerings in the Lord’s presence.
