SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:11
Y estuvo el arca del SEŅOR en casa de Obed-edom geteo tres meses; y bendijo el SEŅOR a Obed-edom y a toda su casa.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 6:11
Verse 11. The Lord blessed Obed-edom] And why? Because he had the ark of the Lord in his house. Whoever entertains God's messengers, or consecrates his house to the service of God, will infallibly receive God's blessing.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 11. And the ark of the Lord continued in the house of Obededom the Gittite three months , etc.] 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 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.
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.
