2 Samuel 7:6-7
lived <03427> [I have not.]
traveling <01980> [walked.]
tent <0168> [tent.]
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.
care for <07462> [feed.]
2 Samuel 7:2
Nathan <05416> [Nathan.]
living in ............ sits <03427> [I dwell.]

2 Samuel 6:5-11
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.
