撒母耳記下 6:4 RCUVTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 2 Samuel 6:1-5

We have not heard a word of the ark since it was lodged in Kirjath-jearim, immediately after its return out of its captivity among the Philistines (1 Sam. 7:1, 2), except that, once, Saul called for it, 1 Sam. 14:18. That which in former days had made so great a figure is now thrown aside, as a neglected thing, for many years. And, if now the ark was for so many years in a house, let it not seem strange that we find the church so long in the wilderness, Rev. 12:14. Perpetual visibility is no... read more

And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was at Gibeah ,.... That is, the new cart, which is the last thing spoken of, 2 Samuel 6:3 ; and the bringing of the ark out of his house is mentioned before; though some take this to be the coffer in which were the presents of the Philistines, which was now brought out along with the ark, see 1 Samuel 6:8 , accompanying the ark of God ; or "with the ark of God" F6 עם ארון האלהים "cum arca Dei", Pagninus, Montanus,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 6:1-11

The facts are: 1 . David, deeming the time to be come for reorganizing the religious services, raises a select force wherewith to bring the ark from its obscurity at Kirjath-jearim. 2 . Providing a new cart, the ark is set thereon, and brought out of the house of Abinadab under charge of his two sons. 3 . David and the people move in joyous procession before the ark to music from all manner of instruments. 4 . Arriving at a certain place, Uzzab, putting forth his hand to steady... read more

( 1 Chronicles 13:7 , 1 Chronicles 13:8 ). ( KIRJATH - JEARIM .) The ark brought out of deep obscurity. The enterprise was marked by— I. A GREAT DISCOVERY . "We found it in the fields of the wood" ( Psalms 132:6 ). 1 . An invaluable treasure, long hidden, from view; like the "treasure hid in a field," and the "pearl of great price" ( Matthew 13:44-46 ). 2 . A significant memorial of God's mercies in times past. What manifold and mighty events would be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Samuel 6:4

Accompanying (Hebrew, with ) the ark. The verse is evidently corrupt, and we have no aid from the parallel place in Chronicles, except the fact that it is omitted there. The most probable explanation is that the first half of the verse has been repeated from 2 Samuel 6:3 by the error of some copyist, and that the original words were "Uzzah and Ahio drove the new cart with the ark of God, and Ahio went before the ark." While Uzzah walked at the side, Ahio went before the oxen to... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Samuel 6:4-5

2 Samuel 6:4-5. Accompanying the ark of God That is, when it was brought out of the house of Abinadab, the people flocked together to attend it. It seems as if Eleazar, who had been sanctified to take care of the ark, was dead, or stayed at home to attend to his father, who was now grown old. David and all Israel played before the Lord Who was present with the ark. Public joy should always be as before the Lord, with an eye to him, and terminating in him. Otherwise it is no better than... 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 first move 6:1-11Baale-judah (2 Samuel 6:2) may have been the later name of Kiriath-jearim (cf. Joshua 15:9-10). [Note: Ibid., p. 869.] This was where the ark had evidently rested since the Israelites had moved it from Bethshemesh in Samuel’s days (1 Samuel 6; cf. Psalms 132:6-8). [Note: Joseph Blenkinsopp, "Kiriath-jearim and the Ark," Journal of Biblical Literature 88 (1969):146-47.] David wanted to bring the ark into his capital because it symbolized the Lord’s presence. As we have seen,... read more

(4) And they brought it.—The text has undoubtedly suffered here through the repetition of a line by the scribes. The whole verse is omitted in the parallel passage in 1 Chronicles 13:0, and the first half of it (which is a repetition of 2 Samuel 6:3) in the LXX. read more
