Why was David unwilling to take the ark into the city?

2 Samuel 6:10 (NEG79)

10 Il ne voulut pas retirer l'arche de l'Eternel chez lui dans la cité de David, et il la fit conduire dans la maison d'Obed-Edom de Gath.

As a result of the Lord’s anger bursting out against Uzzah, David was reluctant to take the ark to Jerusalem.1 He was concerned that the Lord might be displeased with his project,2 that a similar outburst would take place, and that the presence of the Lord might bring curse instead of blessing.3 At this point in time he was likely unaware of the reason for the Lord’s anger.
