“How can you make this request of me? We’ve been friends. I’ve served you many years. My lord, did you miss what just happened?” Obed-Edom asked the king.

For many years, the Ark of the Covenant had been housed in Kiriath Jearim at the home of Abinadab, about eight miles northwest of Jerusalem. During the life of the prophet Samuel, the Ark was taken in battle. After the plague broke out and decimated two royal Philistine cities, they placed the Ark on a cart and hitched it to two milk cows. Miraculously, the cows headed straight for Israel. The people of Kiriath Jearim appointed Abinadab to house the Ark and set aside his son Eleazar to tend it. Saul never moved the Ark during his 40-year reign.
