“And the men of Kirjath–jearim came, and fetched up the ark of the Lord, and brought it into the house of Abinadab in the hill, and sanctified Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the Lord.”
So the people of Kiriath-jearim came and took up the ark of the LORD, and brought it to the house of Abinadab on the hill. They consecrated his son Eleazar to have charge of the ark of the LORD—*Kiriath-jearim* (city of forests) receives the ark. Abinadab's house becomes a temporary sanctuary; Eleazar is set apart (*hiqdshu*, consecrated) for its care. The ark enters a twenty-year sojourn in obscurity.
