サムエル記Ⅱ 6:15 JCB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 2 Samuel 6:12-19

We have here the second attempt to bring the ark home to the city of David; and this succeeded, though the former miscarried. I. It should seem the blessing with which the house of Obed-edom was blessed for the ark's sake was a great inducement to David to bring it forward; for when that was told him (2 Sam. 6:12) he hastened to fetch it to him. For, 1. It was an evidence that God was reconciled to them, and his anger was turned away. As David could read God's frowns upon them all in Uzzah's... read more

The elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, 1 Chronicles 15:25 ; besides the common people; there might be as large a number with him now as before: with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet ; with the shouts of the people in common, and with blowing of trumpets by those who were appointed for that purpose, and with other instruments of music, see 1 Chronicles 15:27 ; Josephus says F18 ... read more

( 1 Chronicles 15:1-29 .). ( JERUSALEM ) The ark led forth with devout enthusiasm. A man's ruling passion, although repressed for a season, surely reappears. It was thus with David's affection for the ark of God, and his desire to bring it up to Zion, where he had prepared a new tent, tabernacle, or pavilion ( Psalms 27:5 ), for its reception ( 2 Samuel 6:17 ), in or adjoining his own palace ( 1 Chronicles 14:1 ; 1 Chronicles 15:1 ). His zeal, which had been checked by fear,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 6:12-19

The ark brought to Zion. A grand day for Israel, and indeed for the world; the beginning of the religious significance of "Zion" and "Jerusalem," and the mighty spiritual influence which has gone forth far and wide from that centre. With respect to the bringing of the ark "into the city of David," we remark— I. IT WAS THE ACCOMPLISHMENT OF A DELAYED PURPOSE . Although David was shocked and alarmed by the event which compelled him to desist from his first endeavour, he did... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 6:12-23

The facts are: 1 . David, learning the blessing that had come upon the house of Obed-Edom, resolves to bring up the ark to Jerusalem. 2 . Having made arrangements in accordance with the Law for the proper bearing of the ark, he inaugurates the procession by a sacrifice. 3 . Girded with a linen ephod, he dances before the ark, and with music and shouting it enters Jerusalem. 4 . Placing the ark in the tabernacle he had provided for it, he offers burnt offerings and peace... read more

2 Samuel 6:15. So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark Undoubtedly this was as solemn and magnificent a procession as can be imagined. The order of it is set forth Psalms 68:25, The singers went before, the players upon instruments after, in the midst (that is, between both) the damsels playing with timbrels; then followed, in all likelihood, the several tribes with their princes, elders, &c.; for this seems to be the meaning of that expression, (Psalms 68:27,) The... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 6:1-23

The ark brought to Jerusalem (6:1-23)Part of the reason for Israel’s weakness during Saul’s reign was the king’s lack of interest in the nation’s religious life. David was determined to correct this state of affairs. He began by restoring the ark, symbol of God’s presence, to its rightful position as the centre of Israel’s religious life. (During Saul’s reign the ark had remained in a country house in Kiriath-jearim, also known as Baal-judah or Baalah; 1 Samuel 7:1-2; 1 Chronicles 13:5-6; 1... read more

The second move 6:12-23David also observed that the ark’s presence in Obed-edom’s house resulted in blessing for its host. This made him more eager than ever to install the ark in Jerusalem.2 Samuel 6:13 probably means: after the priests had taken six steps, other priests sacrificed an ox and a fatling (a fat, i.e., choice, calf). This happened every time the priests carrying the ark took six steps. [Note: See McCarter, "The Ritual . . .," pp. 273-74, 277, n. 1; or Carlson, pp. 80, 86, for the... read more

CHAPTER VIII.THE ARK BROUGHT UP TO JERUSALEM.2 Samuel 6:1-23.THE first care of David when settled on the throne had been to obtain possession of the stronghold of Zion, on which and on the city which was to surround it he fixed as the capital of the kingdom and the dwelling-place of the God of Israel. This being done, he next set about bringing up the ark of the testimony from Kirjath-jearim, where it had been left after being restored by the Philistines in the early days of Samuel.
