Charles Ellicott Commentary
"And the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house three months: and Jehovah blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that he had." — 1 Chronicles 13:14 (ASV)
With the family. —By (near) the house. The preposition is missing in Samuel, according to older usage.
In his house. —In its own house (shrine). Instead of this, Samuel has “the Gittite,” and for the concluding words, And the Lord blessed Obed-edom, and all his house (Compare to 2 Samuel 6:12).
As to the nature of the blessing, see 1 Chronicles 26:4–8; and compare to Psalms 125:0.
