What Does 1 Chronicles 26:15 Mean?

Obededom receives the southern gate, and his sons are assigned the house of Asuppim, the place where stores and supplies were gathered. The family blessed earlier now holds both a gate and a storehouse in trust.

To be entrusted with the storehouse was to be trusted with the resources of God's house. The blessing on Obededom's family ripens into greater responsibility, for those who prove faithful are given more to keep. Trust grows where trust has been honored.
