13:1 The story of bringing the ark to Jerusalem is told in 2Sm 6:2-11. However, the Chronicler added the detail of how David called Israel to this task in vv. 1-5.
13:2 The “whole assembly” is emphasized. Throughout the book of Chronicles, the author was at great pains to emphasize Israel’s unity. His message to the reader was, “We are one people, not merely separate tribes, and our great leaders led all Israel.”
13:11 While David emotionally felt anger against what he considered to be an unjust response of the Lord’s, the next emotion that he felt was fear and respect for God’s requirements. God’s holiness does not make exceptions, even when the result might be tragic.
13:13 Obed-edom is a Levite (15:18,21), and so was a lawful keeper of sacred objects such as the ark.
