Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the men of Kirjathjearim came and fetched up the ark of the Lord,.... From Bethshemesh, which was near unto them, as Josephus g says; they made no difficulty of fetching it, but gladly received it; for if they knew of what happened to the men of Bethshemesh, they knew it was not owing to the presence of the ark among them, but to their irreverent behaviour to it; and though Kirjathjearim was not a Levite city, and so the men of it could not bear the ark themselves, yet they might have proper persons from Bethshemesh to do this service:
and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill; which; hill was within the city of Kirjathjearim, and is mentioned either to distinguish this Abinadab that dwelt on it from another of the same name in the city, as Kimchi observes; or else to remark the propriety of the place, and the reason of the choice of it for the ark to be placed in; hills and high places being in those times accounted fittest for sacred services to be performed in, as well as places of safety; who this man was is not certain. Josephus h says he was a Levite, but if so he could only be a sojourner in this place; however he might be, as he suggests he was, a man of great esteem for religion and righteousness:
and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the Lord; not only to watch it that it might not be taken away, but to keep persons from it, from touching it, or using it irreverently; and such as were not allowed to come nigh it; as well as to keep the place clean where it was put; and for this he was appointed by the priests, or the elders of the city; and was set apart for this service, and prepared for it by washings and sacrifices; and the rather he and not his father was invested with this office, because he was a young man, and his father might be old and decrepit; and this his son also a holy goodman, wise and prudent, and active and zealous for God, and true religion; and on all accounts a fit person for this post.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
This verse belongs more properly to 1 Samuel 6:0. Abinadab and his sons were probably of the house of Levi. The catastrophe at Bethshemesh must inevitably have made the Israelites very careful to pay due honor to the ark in accordance with the Law: but to give the care of the ark to those who were not of the house of Levi would be a gross violation of the Law.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER VII
The men of Kirjah-jearim bring the ark from Beth-shemesh, and
consecrate Eleazar, the son of Abinadab, to keep it; and there
it continued twenty years, 1, 2.
Samuel reproves and exhorts the people, and gathers them
together at Mizpeh, where they fast and pray, and confess
their sins, 3-6.
The Philistines go up against them; the Israelites cry unto the
Lord for help; Samuel offers sacrifices; and the Lord confounds
the Philistines with thunder; Israel discomfits and pursues
them to Beth-car, 7-11.
Samuel erects a stone for a memorial, and calls it Eben-ezer,
12.
The Philistines are totally subdued, and Israel recovers all
its lost cities, 13, 14.
Samuel acts as an itinerant judge in Israel, 15-17.
NOTES ON CHAP. VII
Verse 1 Samuel 7:1. Fetched up the ark — When these people received the message of the Beth-shemites, they probably consulted Samuel, with whom was the counsel of the Lord, and he had encouraged them to go and bring it up, else they might have expected such destruction as happened to the Beth-shemites.
Sanctified Eleazar — Perhaps this sanctifying signifies no more than setting this man apart, simply to take care of the ark.
