1 Chronicles 13:14

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; and comp. Psalms 125
