Verse 2
And David said unto all the congregation of Israel ,.... To the above persons, as representatives of it:
if it seem good unto you, and that it be of the Lord our God ; if it could be thought by them a good and useful thing, and agreeable to the will of God, and would make for his glory:
let us send abroad unto our brethren everywhere that are left in all the land of Israel ; that were not then present with them, even all the common people; whom David, though king, owns as his brethren; nor is his antitype ashamed to own this relation between him and his people, Hebrews 2:11 .
and with them also to the priests and Levites which are in their cities and suburbs : given to them in the several tribes to dwell in, see 1 Chronicles 6:54 ,
that they may gather themselves unto us ; at a certain time and place appointed.
