Context — The Ark in Obed-edom's Housegenerated

10So he was unwilling to move the ark of the LORD to the City of David; instead, he took it aside to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.
11Thus the ark of the LORD remained in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite for three months, and the LORD blessed him and all his household.
12Now it was reported to King David, “The LORD has blessed the house of Obed-edom and all that belongs to him, because of the ark of God.” So David went and had the ark of God brought up from the house of Obed-edom into the City of David with rejoicing.
13When those carrying the ark of the LORD had advanced six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.

2 Samuel 6:11 recounts how the ark of the LORD was housed in the residence of Obed-edom the Gittite for three months. This period was marked by divine blessing upon Obed-edom and his entire household, illustrating the significance of the ark's presence and the favor of God. This event follows the earlier decision to move the ark, which had initially been met with fear and caution due to its holiness, as seen in 2 Samuel 6:10.

The Key Word יָשַׁב, vai.ye.Shevgenerated

The verb יָשַׁב (yashab) means to dwell, remain, or sit. It conveys the idea of staying in a place for a period of time, establishing a sense of permanence. In this context, it indicates that the ark was not merely passing through but was situated in Obed-edom's home.

The parsing indicates it is a sequential imperfect verb in the third person masculine singular, suggesting ongoing action. This highlights the duration of the ark's stay and its importance in the narrative.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

In the Berean Standard Bible, the word יָשַׁב is rendered as remained, a choice echoed in the KJV and ASV.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The main verb of the verse is יָשַׁב, it remained, which governs the entire sentence. The structure includes several noun phrases that provide details about the subject (the ark), its location (the house of Obed-edom), the duration (three months), and the action of blessing.

The Hebrew word order places emphasis on the ark and its divine association, with the blessings following as a direct consequence of the ark's presence.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates יָשַׁב as ἐκάθισεν (ekathisen), meaning 'it sat' or 'it dwelt.' This choice emphasizes the settled nature of the ark's presence in Obed-edom's house.

The translation reflects a similar understanding of the permanence of the ark's stay, aligning with the Hebrew text's intent.

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

יְהֹוָה (ye.ho.vah) is the proper name of the God of Israel, often rendered as Jehovah or the Lord. It signifies the self-existent or eternal nature of God. The name is closely associated with the revelation to Moses in Exodus 3:12-15 and is used in conjunction with other terms to denote sacred places.

ov:

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]

1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.

I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.

For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts. Joshua 11:1.

Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…

The phrase "three days and three nights," Mt 12:40, was equivalent in Hebrew to the English "three days;" the Jews employing the expression "a day and a night" to denote our "day" of twentyfour hours. Nor did "three days," 1Sa 30:13, literally "this third day," according to their usage, necessarily include the whole of three days, but a part of three days, a continuous period including one whole day of twenty-four hours, and a portion of the day preceding it and the day following it.

אֵת (eth) is primarily a grammatical marker in Hebrew, indicating the definite direct object of a verb. It is not translated into English and typically precedes nouns that are definite. The word is derived from a demonstrative sense of entity, related to the Hebrew word for 'self.' Its Aramaic equivalent is יָת (yat).
