2 Samuel 6:15 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 6:15

So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the
Lord
The elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, ( 1 Chronicles 15:25 ) ; besides the common people; there might be as large a number with him now as before:

with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet;
with the shouts of the people in common, and with blowing of trumpets by those who were appointed for that purpose, and with other instruments of music, see ( 1 Chronicles 15:27 1 Chronicles 15:28 ) ; Josephus says ^F18, that seven choirs went before the priests bearing the ark, as the king commanded, he himself playing on the harp; so the Septuagint version.

2 Samuel 6:15 In-Context

13 When those bearing the ark of ADONAI had gone only six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened sheep.

14 Then David danced and spun around with abandon before ADONAI, wearing a linen ritual vest.

15 So David and all the house of Isra'el brought up the ark of ADONAI with shouting and the sound of the shofar.

16 As the ark of ADONAI entered the City of David, Mikhal the daughter of Sha'ul, watching from the window, saw King David leaping and spinning before ADONAI; and she was filled with contempt for him.

17 They brought the ark of ADONAI in and put it in its place inside the tent that David had set up for it. David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before ADONAI.
