Obededom
O’bed-e’dom. (servant of Edom).
1. A Levite, described as a Gittite, 2Sa 6:10-11, that is, probably, a native of the Levitical city of Gath-rimmon in Manasseh, which was assigned to the Kohathites. Jos 21:25. (B.C. 1045). After the death of Uzzah, the ark, which was being conducted from the house of Abinadab in Gibeah, to the city of David, was carried aside into the house of Obed-edom, where it continued three months. It was brought thence by David. 2Sa 6:12; 1Ch 15:25.
“Obed-edom, the son of Jeduthun,” 1Ch 16:38, a Merarite Levite, appears to be a different person from Obededom, 1. He was a Levite, of the second degree, and a gate-keeper for the ark, 1Ch 15:18; 1Ch 15:24, appointed to sound, “with harps on the Sheminith to excel.” 1Ch 15:21; 1Ch 16:5. (B.C. 1043).
