Contextual Overview
6 When David's men came to the threshing floor of Nacon, the oxen stumbled, and God's Holy Box began to fall off the wagon. Uzzah caught the Holy Box. 7 But the Lord was angry with Uzzah and killed him for that mistake. Uzzah showed he did not honor God when he touched the Holy Box, so he died there by God's Holy Box. 8 David was upset because the Lord had killed Uzzah. David called that place "Perez Uzzah." It is still called Perez Uzzah today. 9 David became afraid of the Lord that day, and he said, "How can I bring God's Holy Box here now?" 10 So David would not move the Lord 's Holy Box into the City of David. He put the Holy Box at the house of Obed Edom from Gath. 11 The Lord 's Holy Box stayed in Obed Edom's house for three months. The Lord blessed Obed Edom and all his family.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the ark of the Lord continued in the house of Obededom the Gittite three months,.... David, and those with him, returned to their habitations, where they continued during this time:
and the Lord blessed Obededom, and all his household; him, and all his family, with spiritual blessings, and with an affluence of temporal good things; for godliness has the promise of this life, and of that which is to come; men are not losers but gainers, even in things temporal, for their attachment to the cause of religion, and the service of God, and their regard to that in their own houses, as well as in the house of God. Josephus o says, that Obededom was very poor before, and in a low condition, out of which he soon emerged, and came into affluent circumstances, so as to be taken notice of by his neighbours, and reported abroad; by which means David came to the hearing of it, as follows.
o Antiqu. l. 7. c. 4. sect. 2.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Samuel 6:11. The Lord blessed Obed-edom — And why? Because he had the ark of the Lord in his house. Whoever entertains God's messengers, or consecrates his house to the service of God, will infallibly receive God's blessing.
