Contextual Overview

9When they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzza put out his hand to hold and steady the ark, for the oxen [that were drawing the cart] nearly overturned it. 10The anger of the LORD burned against Uzza, and He struck him down because he touched the ark; and there he died before God. 11David became angry because of the LORD'S outburst against Uzza; so that place is called Perez-uzza to this day. 12David was afraid of God that day, and he said, "How can I bring the ark of God home with me?" 13So David did not bring the ark with him to the City of David, but took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite. 14So the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house three months; and the LORD blessed the house of Obed-edom and all that he had.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Chronicles 13:14. The Lord blessed the house of Obed-edom — That this man was only a sojourner at Gath, whence he was termed Gittite, and that he was originally a Levite, is evident from 1 Chronicles 15:17-18.

The Targum ends this chapter thus: "And the Word of the Lord blessed Obed-edom, and his children, and his grand-children; and his wife conceived, and his eight daughters-in-law: and each brought forth eight at one birth, insomuch that in one day there were found, of fathers and children, fourscore and one; and He blessed and increased greatly all that belonged to him." This exposition will not be generally received; but all rabbins must be allowed to deal in the marvellous.

For other remarks see on 2 Samuel 6:1, &c.
