📚 Historical Context
This occurred during King David's first attempt to bring the ark of the covenant to Jerusalem, which had been interrupted when Uzzah died after touching the ark. David, frightened by this incident, left the ark at Obed-Edom's house instead of continuing to Jerusalem. Obed-Edom was likely a Levite from Gath who was qualified to care for the sacred ark.
