And he took. — So 2 Kings 14:14. The verb has fallen out here. The omission is ancient, as it appears in the LXX. The Vulg. gives the verb returned at the end of the verse a transitive form, and renders “he carried back to Samaria” all the things enumerated. The Syriac reads, “and he took the silver,” &c.
With Obed-edom. — Added by the chronicler, in harmony with what he has stated about the custody of the sacred treasures (1 Chronicles 26:15, seq.); but probably derived from an ancient document. Obededom was the name of a Levitical clan.
