It was reported to King David: “The Lord has blessed Obed-edom’s family and all that belongs to him because of the ark of God.” So David went and had the ark of God brought up from Obed-edom’s house to the city of David with rejoicing.

So he was not willing to move the ark of the Lord to the city of David; instead, he took it to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

The ark of the Lord remained in his house three months, and the Lord blessed Obed-edom and his whole family.

from Edom, Moab, the Ammonites, the Philistines, the Amalekites, and the spoil of Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

He placed garrisons throughout Edom, and all the Edomites were subject to David. The Lord made David victorious wherever he went.
