2 Samuel 6:2

From Baale of Judah - This is supposed to be the same city which, in Joshua 15:60 , is called Kirjah-baal or Kirjath-jearim; (see 1 Chronicles 13:6 ;); or Baalah, Joshua 15:9 .

Whose name is called by the name of the Lord - That is, The ark is called the ark of the Lord of hosts. But this is not a literal version; the word שם shem , Name, occurs twice together; probably one of them should be read שם sham , There. There the name of the Lord of hosts was invoked, etc.
