Context — Uzzah Touches the Ark
12That day David feared God and asked, “How can I ever bring the ark of God to me?”
13So he did not move the ark with him to the City of David; instead, he took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
14Thus the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house for three months, and the LORD blessed his household and everything he owned.

1 Chronicles 13:14 Summary
This verse tells us that the ark of God, which represented His presence, stayed with Obed-edom's family for three months and brought them great blessing. This shows us that when we reverence and obey God, He can bring wonderful blessings into our lives, just as He did for Obed-edom (as seen in 1 Chronicles 13:14). It's like when God blessed Abraham in Genesis 12:2-3, and we can experience similar blessings when we follow God's ways. By trusting in God and following His commands, we can invite His presence and blessing into our own homes and lives, just like Obed-edom's family did.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did David decide not to move the ark to the City of David?
David feared God and realized his previous attempt to move the ark was not in accordance with God's instructions, as seen in the death of Uzzah, so he decided to leave it with Obed-edom, as described in 1 Chronicles 13:9-12 and referenced in Numbers 4:15 and Numbers 7:9.
What does it mean that the LORD blessed Obed-edom's household?
The blessing from the LORD signifies His favor and approval, resulting in prosperity and protection, as seen in other instances like Genesis 12:2-3 and 2 Samuel 6:11, where God blesses those who obey and reverence Him.
How long did the ark remain with Obed-edom's family?
The ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house for three months, as stated in 1 Chronicles 13:14, demonstrating a period of God's blessing and presence in their home.
What can we learn from Obed-edom's experience with the ark?
Obed-edom's experience teaches us about the importance of reverence and obedience to God's commands, as seen in 1 Chronicles 13:9-14 and Deuteronomy 4:10, and how these actions can lead to God's blessing and presence in our lives.
Reflection Questions
- What would it mean for me to reverence God in my daily life, and how might this lead to His blessing?
- In what ways can I create space in my life for God's presence, just as Obed-edom's household was blessed by the ark's presence?
- How do I respond when God's presence or blessing is evident in someone else's life, and what can I learn from their experience?
- What are some areas in my life where I need to seek God's blessing and presence, and how can I prepare myself for this?
Gill's Exposition on 1 Chronicles 13:14
[See comments on 1 Chronicles 13:5].
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 13:14
1 Chronicles 13:13 So David brought not the ark [home] to himself to the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gittite. 1 Chronicles 13:14 And the ark of God remained with the family of Obededom in his house three months. And the LORD blessed the house of Obededom, and all that he had. Ver. 13,14.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 13:14
(14) With the family.—By (near) the house. The preposition is wanting in Samuel, according to older usage. In his house.—In its own house (shrine). Instead of this, Samuel has “the Gittite,” and for the concluding words, “And the Lord blessed Obed-edom, and all his house.” (Comp. 2 Samuel 6:12.) As to the nature of the blessing, see 1 Chronicles 26:4-8; and comp. Psalms 125
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 13:14
Verse 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.
