Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - 2 Samuel 6:1-23

3. The Ark Brought to Zion CHAPTER 6 1. The ark fetched by David (2 Samuel 6:1-5 ) 2. Uzzah: his error and death (2 Samuel 6:6-9 ) 3. The ark in the house of Obed-edom (2 Samuel 6:10-11 ) 4. The ark brought into David’s city (2 Samuel 6:12-19 ) 5. Michal’s mockery of David (2 Samuel 6:20-23 ) It is of importance to read 1 Chronicles 13:0 for a better understanding of how the ark was brought from Kirjathjearim to David’s city. The book of Chronicles contains these larger records... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Samuel 6:1-23

David's kingdom having been established, he is rightly concerned that God should have His true place as in highest authority over Israel. The ark was the symbol of the throne of God, yet had been in the obscurity of the house of Abinidab in Baale (or Kirjath-Jearim -- Joshua 15:9). Thus, through the history of Saul, God's authority was obscured, but David wants this in the place of highest prominence. He therefore gathers thirty thousand chosen men of Israel in view of his commendable purpose.... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 6:1-23

“ GOING AND GROWING ” CONQUERING FOES (2 Samuel 5:0 ) The title of this lesson is the literal rendering of 2 Samuel 5:10 , “David went on and grew great.” The margin reads, “going and growing.” First, he overcame the inhabitants of Jerusalem known as the Jebusites and, capturing the city, made it his capital (2 Samuel 5:6-9 ). The parallel passage in 1 Chronicles 11:4-9 will show the two accounts to complement and confirm one another, Samuel being the more biographic and analistic and... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 2 Samuel 6:1-23

Care of the Ark 2 Samuel 6:0 IN the second verse we read "David arose." A new passion seized him; a sudden enthusiasm stirred him like a great wind from heaven. We cannot account for these inspirations, excitements, new consecrations and purposes in life: "The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit" to new life, new force, new duty. Sometimes we say, Why did not men... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Samuel 6:14-15

(14) And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod. (15) So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpeter I hope the Reader will have grace to distinguish the holy joy and fervor of David's mind which gave birth to this action of his body in dancing before the Lord; from modern dancing, which is frivolous, sinful, and has a tendency to provoke lustful affections. It is... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 2 Samuel 6:12-19

12-19 It became evident, that happy was the man who had the ark near him. Christ is indeed a Stone of stumbling, and a Rock of offence, to those that are disobedient; but to those that believe, he is a Corner-stone, elect, precious, 1 Peter 2:6-8. Let us be religious. Is the ark a blessing to others' houses? We may have it, and the blessing of it, without fetching it away from our neighbours. David, at first setting out, offered sacrifices to God. We are likely to speed in our enterprises, when... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 2 Samuel 6:12-23

The Second Attempt Successful v. 12. And it was told King David, saying, the Lord hath blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God. So the mere presence of the ark did not bring misfortune, as David had feared. All depended, rather, upon one's attitude toward the Lord, whether that was one of rash presumption or of humble faith. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom in to the city of David, where he had prepared... read more

III. Solemn transfer of the Ark of Mount Zion and establishment of regular divine service2 Samuel 6:1-231Again David [And David again1] gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand. 2And David arose and went with all the people that were with him from Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, whose name is called by the name of the Lord of hosts that dwelleth between the cherubims [which is called by the name of Jehovah of hosts who sitteth on the cherubim].2... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 2 Samuel 6:12-23

the Ark Tabernacled in the City of David 2 Samuel 6:12-23 Josephus tells us that from the moment the Ark rested beneath Obed-edom’s roof, a tide of golden prosperity set in, and he passed from poverty to wealth. But 1 Chronicles 26:4-10 sheds a new light on the subject, for there we learn that the whole family became attached to the service of the Lord’s house, and even the grandchildren became mighty. If only we would open our homes to God’s Ark-that is, if we maintained the observances... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Samuel 6:1-23

Victorious in war, David was not unmindful of the central truth of the national life over which he was called to preside. The nation was indeed a theocracy, with the worship of God at its very center. Believing this, David prepared to bring the Ark into the capital. When he did a startling event occurred. Contrary to instructions given long before to Moses, the Ark was placed on a new cart. As they started on their way, the oxen drawing the cart stumbled; and one man, daring to stretch forth... read more
