Gill's Notes on the Bible

Ver. 4,5. Moreover, the sons of Obededom,.... The same at whose house the ark was, before it was brought by David to Zion; his sons were porters also, as himself, 1 Chronicles 15:24, mention is made of eight sons of his, according to their birth:

Shemaiah, Jehozabad, Joah, Sacar, Nethaneel, Ammiel, Issachar, Peulthai; for God blessed him; as with wealth and riches, so with a numerous offspring, and that because of his entertainment of the ark at his house; the great increase of his family is aggravated by the Jews q beyond all credit, that all in his family brought eight at a birth; the Targum here makes them eighty two in all.

q Hieron. Trad. Heb. in 2. Reg. fol. 77. M.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Obed-edom and Hosah 1 Chronicles 26:10 had been “porters,” or door - keepers, from the time of the bringing up of the ark into Jerusalem 1 Chronicles 15:24; 1 Chronicles 16:38.
