SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:10
No quiso, pues, David traer a sí el arca del SEÑOR a la ciudad de David; mas la llevó David a casa de Obed-edom geteo.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 6:10
Verse 10. But David carried it aside] The house of Obed-edom appears to have been very near the city, which they were about to enter, but were prevented by this accident, and lodged the ark with the nearest friend.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 10. So David would not remove the ark of the Lord unto him into the city of David , etc.] As yet, but wait a little longer, until he had more thoroughly considered of it, and made himself acquainted with everything relative to the ark, that he might know how to behave for the future, without giving offence: but David carried it aside into the house of Obededom the Gittite ; which was close by, on one side of the place where they were; this man was a Levite, as appears from his being afterwards appointed to be doorkeeper for the ark, and to sing praise before it, and so a proper person to commit the care of it to, ( 1 Chronicles 15:18,21,24 16:5,6); he is called a Gittite, either because he had sojourned in Gath some time, or rather because he was of Gathrimmon, a city of the Levites, ( Joshua 21:24).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-11 - Uzzah was struck dead for touching the ark. God saw presumption an irreverence in Uzzah's heart. Familiarity, even with that which is mos awful, is apt to breed contempt. If it were so great a crime for one to lay hold on the ark of the covenant who had no right to do so, what is it for those to lay claim to the privileges of the covenant that com not up to the terms of it? Obed-edom opened his doors without fear knowing the ark was a savour of death unto death to those only wh treated it wrong. The same hand that punished Uzzah's prou presumption, rewarded Obed-edom's humble boldness. Let none think the worse of the gospel for the judgments on those that reject it, but consider the blessings it brings to all who receive it. Let masters of families be encouraged to keep up religion in their families. It is good to live in a family that entertains the ark, for all about it wil fare the better.
