Exegesis
The origin phrase min bēt ’ôḇēḏ-’ĕḏōm {מִן־בֵּ֥ית עֹבֵד־אֱדֹ֖ם | min bēt ’ō-vēḏ-’e-dōm} ‘from the house of Obed-Edom’ specifies the source, and the prepositional phrase bəśimḥāh {בְּשִׂמְחָה | bə-śim-ḥāh} ‘with joy’ concludes the clause, underscoring the celebratory tone. English renders the extensive Hebrew phrase in two clauses to maintain clarity while preserving the theological emphasis.
Root and etymology

In context — 1 Chronicles 15:25
