(24) And he took.—So 2Ki_14:14. The verb has fallen out here. The omission is ancient, as it appears in the LXX. The Vulg. gives the verb returned at the end of the verse a transitive form, and renders “he carried back to Samaria” all the things enumerated. The Syriac reads, “and he took the silver,” &c.
With Obed-edom.—Added by the chronicler, in harmony with what he has stated about the custody of the sacred treasures (1Ch_26:15, seq.); but probably derived from an ancient document. Obededom was the name of a Levitical clan.

The Pulpit Commentary 1880 · Public Domain No mention is made in the parallel of that…
No mention is made in the parallel of that custodian of treasures in the house of God, here called Obed-Edom, and who possibly was a descendant of the Obed-Edom of David"s time (2Sa_6:10; 1Ch_13:13) or an Obed-Edom "a porter". (1Ch_15:18 1Ch_16:38 1Ch_26:4, 1Ch_26:5) The present verse is an interesting one for pointing out the exact differences, even to the minutest of them, in what the two writers (of Kings and Chronicles) respectively took from a common original; e.g. the writer of Kings has "he took;" leaves out Obed-Edom; " has not the preposition in" before "the house;" has "Jehovah" instead of "God;" has the preposition in" before treasures; " and has "Samaria ward" (i.e. to Samaria) instead of only "Samaria;" the writer of Chronicles differing in each of these respects. All the gold in the house of God. 2Ki_12:17, 2Ki_12:18, from which we must conclude that Hazael had already had the pick both for quantity and for quality. The hostages also; the phrase runs in the Hebrew text, "and sons or, "the sons of the hostages" (ynB taey twObru) the literal rendering of which is "children or sons of pledges," i.e. hostages. The word (and indeed the practice so prevalent elsewhere) is found only here and in the parallel.
