1. The removal of the ark from Kiriath-jearim ch. 13The lesson the writer intended this incident to teach the readers is that Yahweh is holy and His people should not take His presence among them lightly (cf. Leviticus 10:1-11; Numbers 16). God’s presence is real, and His people must deal with it in harmony with His character (cf. Exodus 25-31). It would have been tempting to regard the rituals and physical objects used in worship as common. The writer warned his readers not to make this fatal... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Chronicles 13:1-43

D. David and the Ark chs. 13-16"In the Chronicler’s eyes David’s reign consisted of two great religious phases, his movement of the ark to Jerusalem (chs. 13-16) and his preparations for the building of the temple (chs. 17-19 or at least 17-22, 28, 29). The intent of the parallelism seems to be to mark the ends of these two phases with praise and prayer that both glorified Yahweh and spelled out his relationship to his people in theological terms appropriate to the Chronicler and his... read more

The Removal of the Ark from Kirjath-jearimThis chapter merely expands 2 Samuel 6:1-11, with some unimportant differences.3. We enquired not at it] perhaps, better, ’we did not seek it,’ i.e. to convey it to a place of honour: cp. 1 Chronicles 15:13.5. Shihor of Egypt] usually employed to designate the Nile (Isaiah 23:3; Jeremiah 2:18), but here applied to the ’brook of Egypt’ (Joshua 15:4), the modern El Arish, a small stream on the borders of Egypt flowing into the Mediterranean.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Chronicles 13:5

(5) So David gathered all Israel.— Assembled; a different word in 1 Chronicles 13:2.Shihor of Egypt.—The boundary between Egypt and Canaan is elsewhere called Nahal Micrayim (Authorısed Version, River of Egypt; Isaiah 27:12; 2 Chronicles 7:8). It is the modern Wady el Arish. Joshua 13:3 also calls this winter torrent the Shihor (Blackwater); but, in Isaiah 23:3, Shihor means the Nile.The entering of Hemath.—Hamath.—This was the usual designation of the north boundary of Palestine, as the... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 13:1-14

DAVID1. HIS TRIBE AND DYNASTYKING and kingdom were so bound up in ancient life that an ideal for the one implied an ideal for the other: all distinction and glory possessed by either was shared by both. The tribe and kingdom of Judah were exalted by the fame of David and Solomon: but, on the other hand, a specially exalted position is accorded to David in the Old Testament because he is the representative of the people of Jehovah. David himself had been anointed by Divine command to be king of... read more

3. The Ark Removed from Kirjath-jearim CHAPTER 13 1. The consultation about the ark (1 Chronicles 13:1-5 ) 2. The attempt and the failure (1 Chronicles 13:6-14 ) The first thing after the coronation which concerned David was the ark. This reveals the fact that the king had the things of the Lord upon his heart. He at once consulted with the captains about bringing the ark from Kirjath-jearim. The ark is mentioned forty-six times in the two books of Chronicles. (The titles are the... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 13:1-14

DAVID ’S REIGN THE DOWNFALL OF SAUL (1 Chronicles 10:0 ) In reading this chapter with whose general contents we became familiar in 1 Samuel 31:0 , it is important to note the inspired comment at its close (1 Chronicles 10:13-14 ). DAVID’S HEROES (1 Chronicles 11-12) In the history of David in this book, the writer dwells chiefly on its prosperous side, passing over the rest as lightly as possible. His anointing at Hebron (1 Chronicles 11:1-3 ) reveals nothing of what we learned earlier of... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 1 Chronicles 13:1-14

Holy Ebullitions 1 Chronicles 13:0 CHAPTERS 13-16 form a section complete in itself, relating to the transfer of the ark from Kirjath-jearim to Jerusalem. There is a short parenthesis in chapter xiv. The fourteenth chapter is almost parallel to 2 Samuel 6:1-11 , except that the introduction goes into much more detail. Even David, though so mighty, was wise enough to consult with the captains of thousands and hundreds, and with every leader. The hundreds were the smaller military divisions of... read more
