2 Samuel 6:12 - Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible

Bible Comments

And it was told king David, saying, “YHWH has blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all which pertains to him, because of the ark of God.” And David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the city of David with joy.'

The result was that David was eventually informed that YHWH had blessed the house of Obed-edom the Gittite and all that pertained to him, and that convinced David of the fact that YHWH was not against what he had been planning, and that His ‘anger' was now appeased. And as a consequence David brought up the Ark of God from Obed-edom's house into the City of David with great joy (and celebration). But this time, the Chronicler especially emphasises, he went about it more carefully.

2 Samuel 6:12

12 And it was told king David, saying, The LORD hath blessed the house of Obededom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obededom into the city of David with gladness.
