Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Chronicles 13:1-8

Here is, I. David's pious proposal to bring up the ark of God to Jerusalem, that the royal city might be the holy city, 1 Chron. 13:1-3. This part of the story we had not in Samuel. We may observe in this proposal, 1. That as soon as David was well seated on his throne he had thoughts concerning the ark of God: Let us bring the ark to us, 1 Chron. 13:3. Two things he aimed at herein:?(1.) To do honour to God, by showing respect to his ark, the token of his presence. As soon as he had power in... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 13:3

And let us bring again the ark of our God to us ,.... The symbol of the divine Presence, than which nothing was more desirable to David, and he chose to begin his reign overall Israel with it: for we inquired not at it in the days of Saul ; he being indifferent to religion, and careless about it, and the enjoyment of the presence of God, and having direction from him; and the people also content with worship at the tabernacle at Gibeah, though the token of the divine Presence was absent. read more

And all the congregation said that they would do so ,.... They unanimously agreed to the motion: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people ; they saw the propriety, necessity, and usefulness of it. read more

So David gathered all Israel together ,.... The principal of them, even 30,000 select men, 2 Samuel 6:1 . from Shihor of Egypt ; or the Nile of Egypt, as the Targum and other Jewish writers, called Shihor from the blackness of its water, see Jeremiah 2:18 though some think the river Rhinocurura is meant, which both lay to the south of the land of Israel: even unto the entering of Hamath ; which the Targum interprets of Antiochia, which lay to the north of the land; so that this... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 13:1-14

Before viewing this chapter in any detail, there is a general impression which it makes, and that , though general, yet not vague, but of a commanding sort. Here is, so to put it, a certain day in a man's life, an important day, one looked for and consecrated to high end. It rose bright and its joy spread. With intense activity the work is set about, and it is at all events designed and superintended by a good man, though it is not possible that he should, in his own person, carry out... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 13:5

All Israel . The parallel gives the number as thirty thousand men ( 2 Samuel 6:1 , 2 Samuel 6:2 ). Shihor of Egypt . According to Gesenius, this Shihor is from root שָׁחֲר meaning "to be turbid" or "black". There can surely be little doubt that it is the river Nile which is here spoken of, after comparison of the following passages:— Joshua 13:3 ; Isaiah 23:3 ; Jeremiah 2:18 . Though others, quoting Joshua 13:3 and Joshua 19:26 , and interpreting Shihor generically as... read more

1 Chronicles 13:3. We inquired not at it in the days of Saul The ark was then neglected, and the generality of the people contented themselves with going to Gibeon and offering sacrifices there, not caring, though the ark, the soul of the tabernacle, was in another place. As soon as David had power in his hand, he would use it for the advancement of religion. It ought to be the first care of those that are enriched or preferred, to honour God with their honours, and to serve him, and the... read more

1 Chronicles 13:4-5. The thing was right in the eyes of all the people Their consciences smiting them for their former negligence, and being fully convinced of the piety and reasonableness of this proposal. So David gathered all Israel together All the chosen men of Israel, as it is expressed 2 Samuel 6:1, their elders and representatives. From Shihor of Egypt By which the Targum, and most of the Jews, understood the river Nile. It here stands for the southern bounds of the land of... read more
