And for this cause he brought it not unto himself, that is, into the city of David, but turned it away into the house of (a) Obededom the (b) Getheite.
(a) Obededom was a Levite, (c. 15. v. 18.) and therefore more meet to keep the ark:
(b) Called a Getheite because he had dwelt in the town of Geth.
