In the house of God with Obed-edom - From 1Ch 26:15 we learn that to Obed-edom and his descendants was allotted the keeping of the house of Asuppim or collections for the Divine treasury. And - the hostages - See on 2Ki 14:14 (note).

This site's exposition

So Jehoash king of Israel advanced

on 2 Chronicles 25:21-24

The defeat at Beth-shemesh, the broken wall and the plundered temple follow 2 Kings 14:11-14 closely. Chronicles adds one detail, that the articles taken were “with Obed-edom,” the family David had set as gatekeepers over the ark. Judah is routed before Israel as the prophet’s word had said.

This site's exposition

the house of God with Obed-edom

Clarke sends the reader to 2 Kings 14:14, where the same list of gold, silver and hostages stands. The hostages were a pledge that Judah would keep the peace. Joash had already paid the temple's gifts to Hazael at 2 Kings 12:18, and now the house is stripped again.

(2.) That he that goes forth hastily to strive will probably not know what to do in the end thereof, when his neighbour has put him to shame, Prov. xxv. He that is fond of contention may have enough of it sooner than he thinks of. But there are two passages in this story which we had not before in the Kings.
