Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root עָבַד (avad, H5647) meaning "to serve" or "to work," combined with אֱדוֹם (Edom, H123), referring to the region or people of Edom.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the proper noun Obed-Edom in the Strong's Greek Concordance, as it is a specific Hebrew name without a direct Greek counterpart. However, the concept of service or servitude, as implied by the root עָבַד (avad), can be related to Greek terms such as δουλεύω (douleuō, G1398), meaning "to serve."

Usage: Obed-Edom is a proper noun used to refer to a specific individual or individuals in the Hebrew Bible. The name appears in the context of the Ark of the Covenant and the service of the temple.

Context: Obed-Edom is a biblical figure mentioned primarily in the context of the Ark of the Covenant. He is first introduced in 2 Samuel 6:10-12, where King David, fearing the wrath of God after the death of Uzzah, decides not to bring the Ark into the City of David. Instead, he places it in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite. The Ark remains there for three months, during which time the LORD blesses Obed-Edom and his household. This blessing prompts David to bring the Ark to Jerusalem with great celebration.

Obed-Edom is also mentioned in 1 Chronicles 13:13-14, which parallels the account in 2 Samuel. Additionally, 1 Chronicles 15:18, 21, 24, and 1 Chronicles 16:5, 38 describe Obed-Edom as a gatekeeper and musician in the service of the Ark, highlighting his role in the religious life of Israel. He is noted for his faithfulness and dedication to the service of the LORD.

The name Obed-Edom appears again in 1 Chronicles 26:4-8, where he is listed among the gatekeepers, and his family is noted for their strength and ability. This passage emphasizes the blessing upon his descendants, who are described as capable and numerous.
