2 Samuel 6:11 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 6:11

And the ark of the Lord continued in the house of Obededom
the Gittite three months
David, and those with him, returned to their habitations, where they continued during this time:

and the Lord blessed Obededom, and all his household;
him, and all his family, with spiritual blessings, and with an affluence of temporal good things; for godliness has the promise of this life, and of that which is to come; men are not losers but gainers, even in things temporal, for their attachment to the cause of religion, and the service of God, and their regard to that in their own houses, as well as in the house of God. Josephus F15 says, that Obededom was very poor before, and in a low condition, out of which he soon emerged, and came into affluent circumstances, so as to be taken notice of by his neighbours, and reported abroad; by which means David came to the hearing of it, as follows.

10 Und wollte sie nicht lassen zu sich bringen in die Stadt Davids, sondern ließ sie bringen ins Haus Obed-Edoms, des Gathiters.
11 Und da die Lade des HERRN drei Monate blieb im Hause Obed-Edoms, des Gathiters, segnete ihn der HERR und sein ganzes Haus.
12 Und es ward dem König David angesagt, daß der HERR das Haus Obed-Edoms segnete und alles, was er hatte, um der Lade Gottes willen. Da ging er hin und holte die Lade Gottes aus dem Hause Obed-Edoms herauf in die Stadt Davids mit Freuden.
13 Und da sie einhergegangen waren mit der Lade des HERRN sechs Gänge, opferte man einen Ochsen und ein fettes Schaf. {~}
