Verses 5-14

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 collection of the people was made from south to north, the extreme borders of the land:

to bring the ark of God from Kirjathjearim ; where it then was, and had been a long time, see 1 Samuel 7:1 , from hence to the end of the chapter the account is the same with 2 Samuel 6:1 , see the notes there; what little variations there are, are there observed. See Gill on 2 Samuel 6:1 , 2 Samuel 6:2 , 2 Samuel 6:3 , 2 Samuel 6:4 , 2 Samuel 6:5 , 2 Samuel 6:6 , 2 Samuel 6:7 , 2 Samuel 6:8 , 2 Samuel 6:9 , 2 Samuel 6:10 , 2 Samuel 6:11
