Clarke's 2-samuel 6:11 Bible Commentary
The Lord blessed Obed-edom - And why? Because he had the ark of the Lord in his house. Whoever entertains God's messengers, or consecrates his house to the service of God, will infallibly receive God's blessing.
Wesley's 2-samuel 6:11 Bible Commentary
6:11 The Lord blessed, &c. - The same hand that punished Uzzah's presumption, rewarded Obed - edom's humble boldness. None ever had, or ever shall have reason to say, that it is in vain to serve God. Piety is the best friend to prosperity. His household too shared in the blessing.It is good living in a family that entertains the ark; for all about it will fare the better for it.
