Obed-edom Obed-edom

Besides the famous Obed-edom, who was assigned to safe keep the ark of the covenant in his house, there is an Obed-edom who was a gatekeeper (1 Chr 26:8), a Levitical musician (1 Chr 16:5) and a guardian of the sacred vessels (2 Chr 25:24).

The name Obed-edom consists of two parts. The first part is similar to the name Obed and comes from the root abad (abad 1553), work or serve. The noun abad (ebed 1553a) means slave or servant, the noun abad (abad 1553b) means work.
The second part is similar to the name Adam or Edom.

Obed-edom means Servant Of The Red One.
