Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Samuel 6:10

10 So David would not remove the ark of the LORD unto him into the city of David▪ but David carried it aside into the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite .

Which doubtless was done by the consent and desire of the owner of it, who for the enjoyment of so great a Priviledge, was willing to expose himself to some hazard; and wisely considered, that the late Judgment was not to be imputed to the Ark, but to Uzzah's carelesness in managing it.

He was certainly a Levite, 1 Chron. 15. 18, 21, 24. and 16. 5. and 26. 4. and here called a Gittite, Either, First, From Gath of the Philistines, where he or his Father might be Born or have Sojourned, which might be upon divers occasions: Or, Secondly, From Gath-rimmon, which was a Levitical City, Ios. 21. 24, 25.
