David gathered all Israel for the return of the ark. Uzzah put out his hand to hold the ark as it was being transported and the Lord struck him down. David was angry, so he had the ark taken to the house of Obed-edom where it remained for three months. The household of Obed-edom was blessed in the presence of the ark. The Philistines wanted to kill David. He sought the Lord and was told to go to fight the Philistines. He conquered them and burned their idols. The Philistines returned to fight again. The Lord told David to go around them and attack. David’s army conquered the Philistines, and David’s name was feared throughout all nations.
