Quick answer
Obed-Edom's remaining sons are named, ending with Peullethai the eighth, with the note that God blessed him. His many sons are explicitly attributed to God's blessing.
Overview
The Chronicler completes the list of Obed-Edom's eight sons and underscores that this fruitfulness came because God blessed him. This echoes the blessing Obed-Edom received when the ark dwelt in his house (1 Chr 13:14). The verse reminds us that genuine flourishing is a gift of God's favor (Ps 127:3-5), and it commends a life that welcomes and honors God's presence.
