2 Sam 6:10

6:10 Obed-edom the Gittite. That is, a man of Gath. Whether the reference is to the Philistine city of Gath (1 Sam. 4:1 note; 5:8 note) or to Gath Rimmon (a Levitical city in Dan or Manasseh; Josh. 21:23–25) is uncertain. Obed-edom is frequently referred to as a Levite in Chronicles (e.g., 1 Chr. 15:17–25; 16:5, 38; 26:4, 5, 8, 15; 2 Chr. 25:24).
