2 Samuel 6
David and his men brought the ark of God from Judah with the whole house of Israel celebrating with songs, harps, lyres, tambourines, sistrums, and cymbals. They were taking it to Jerusalem, but on the way a man named Uzzah took hold of the ark and God struck him down and he died because of his irreverent act. After what had happened, David was afraid to now take the ark of the Lord to be with him in the City of David. So the ark was taken to the house of Obed-Edom for three months. When David saw that the Lord had blessed the household of Obed-Edom, he brought up the ark to the City of David with rejoicing and dancing. But David's wife "despised him (David) in her heart", disapproving of his manor of celebrating. David told her, "It was before the Lord, who chose me rather than your father or anyone... I will become even more undignified..." David was held in honor by his slaves and servants because of his humility before God.
