2 Samuel 6:1-7

6:1

6:2

Baalah in Judah <01184> [Baale.]

[Baalah, i.e., Kirjath-jearim.]

name <08034> [whose name, etc. or, at which the name, even the name of the]

Lord of hosts, was called upon.

sits enthroned <03427> [dwelleth.]

6:3

loaded <07392> [set, etc. Heb. made the ark of God to ride.]

<01390> [Gibeah. or, the hill.]

6:4

with <05973> [accompanying. Heb. with.]

6:5

David <01732> [David.]

<01265> [on all manner.]

This place should doubtless be corrected from the parallel place, 1 Ch 13:8; where, instead of {bechol ƒtzey beroshim,} which is literally, "with all trees or wood of fir," we read {bechol “z oovesheerim,} "with all their might, and with songs." This makes a good sense, while the former makes none: the LXX. have the same reading here, [en ischui, kai en odais.]

6:6

Nacon <05225> [Nachon's.]

[he is called Chidon. put forth.]

Even the Kohathites, who were appointed to carry the ark, after it was covered by the priests, were forbidden to touch it on pain of death; but Uzzah, who certainly was no priest, probably with some degree of irreverence, having presumed to lay his hand upon the ark, which perhaps was not covered, thus incurred the penalty due to his rashness.

[shook it. or, stumbled.]

6:7

he killed ................. God <05221 0430> [God smote.]

negligence <07944> [error. or, rashness.]
