2 Samuel 6:1--7:29
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.]
loaded <07392> [set, etc. Heb. made the ark of God to ride.]
<01390> [Gibeah. or, the hill.]
with <05973> [accompanying. Heb. with.]
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.]
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.]

negligence <07944> [error. or, rashness.]
angry <02734> [displeased.]

Uzzah.

blessing <01288> [bless.]
Michal <04324> [Michal.]
distinguished <03513> [glorious.]
exposed <01540> [uncovered.]
We are only to understand by this expression that David had divested himself of his royal robes, in order to appear humble before the Lord, by assimilating himself to the condition of one of the priests or Levites: for we find that he was "girded with a linen ephod;" and consequently no part of his body was exposed, having only put off his outer garments. The terms uncovered or naked frequently mean no more than this in Scripture.
vulgar <07386> [vain fellows.]
exposed <01540> [shamelessly. or, openly.]

moved among <01980> [walked.]
any .... leaders <07626 0259> [any of the tribes.]
[any of the judges.]
Instead of [shbty,] {shivtey,} "tribes," we should probably read, with Houbigant, Drs. Waterland and A. Clarke, and others, [shpty,] {shophtey,} "judges;" which is the reading in the parallel passage. Indeed there is but one letter of difference between them, and letters which might be easily mistaken for each other; the apex under the upper stroke of the [p,] {pay,} being the only mark to distinguish it from the [b,] {baith.} Compare with ver. 11.
