2 Samuel 6:10

2 Samuel 6:10 -

Obed-Edom. We find two Levites of this name among David's officials—one belonging to the family of Merari, a singer and doorkeeper for the ark ( 1 Chronicles 15:18 , 1 Chronicles 15:21 , 1 Chronicles 15:24 ); the other of the family of Korah ( 1 Chronicles 26:4 , 1 Chronicles 26:5 ). And as it is there said that "God blessed him," he probably it was into whose house the ark was taken. He is called a Gittite, because he belonged to Gath-Rimmon, a Levitical city in the tribe of Dan ( Joshua 19:45 ; Joshua 21:24 ).
