2 Samuel 6:2 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 6:2

And David arose, and went with all the people that [were] with
him
The thirty thousand chosen men gathered together, and as many else as chose to go:

from Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God;
that is, they first went to this place, as in ( 1 Chronicles 13:6 ) ; in order to fetch the ark from thence, as here expressed, and then they came from thence with it; this place is the same that is called Baalah and Kirjathbaal, a city in the tribe of Judah; hence Judah is added to it, and the same with Kirjathjearim, ( Joshua 15:9 Joshua 15:60 ) ; the place where it was brought to when fetched from Bethshemesh, ( 1 Samuel 7:1 ) ; and had been here now near fifty years; nor was it any where else during this time, only once at Gibeah of Saul with him, ( 1 Samuel 14:18 ) ;

whose name he called by the name of the Lord of hosts, that dwelleth
[between] the cherubim;
not the ark, but the Lord, whose is the ark; his name is called by the name of Jehovah, the infinite, incomprehensible, eternal, and immutable Being, the Lord of armies above and below; whose habitation was between the cherubim that overshadowed the mercy seat, which was above the ark; all this is said, not only to express the greatness and majesty of God, but for the honour of the ark, which belonged to him.

2 Samuel 6:2 In-Context

1 Una vez más, David reunió los treinta batallones de soldados escogidos de Israel,

2 y con todo su ejército partió hacia Balá de Judá para trasladar de allí el arca de Dios, sobre la que se invoca su nombre, el nombre del SEÑORTodopoderoso que reina entre los querubines.

3 Colocaron el arca de Dios en una carreta nueva y se la llevaron de la casa de Abinadab, que estaba situada en una colina. Uza y Ajío, hijos de Abinadab, guiaban la carreta nueva

4 que llevaba el arca de Dios. Ajío iba delante del arca,

5 mientras David y todo el pueblo de Israel danzaban ante el SEÑOR con gran entusiasmo y cantaban al son de arpas, liras, panderetas, sistros y címbalos.
