13. Obed-edom. The Obed-edom of 26:1-4 was a Korahite Levite, but it is not certain that he is the subject of the present narrative. “Gittite” may mean that he was a native of Gath-rimmon, a Levitical city assigned to the children of Kohath (Joshua 21:20, 24). The Kohathites had the responsibility of carrying the ark (Num. 4:15). See further on 2 Sam. 6:10.
