What most readers miss in 1 Chronicles 26:15
This was a family business - Obed-Edom's sons inherited the responsibility with him
Common misconceptionPeople think this is boring administrative detail, but Obed-Edom got this honor because he had already proven faithful with God's presence in his home.
