2 Samuel 6:9 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 6:9

And David was afraid of the Lord that day
Lest he should be smitten for his error also, and especially as he had discovered some resentment at the Lord's dealing with Uzzah; when he ought to have been still and quiet, and submitted to the will of God, and owned his justice in it, confessed his own error, and been thankful for his sparing mercy vouchsafed to him:

and said, how shall the ark of the Lord come to me?
the meaning of which is not, how it should be brought to the place provided by him in Jerusalem, now Uzzah was dead, for there were Levites enough to carry it, as they afterwards did; but as signifying that it would be either boldness and presumption in him to do it, since God had shown such a mark of his displeasure at their proceeding, that he might be in doubt whether it was the will of God it should come to him; or as fearing it would be dangerous to him to have it with him, since he might be guilty of such an error, of the same, or like it, that had been committed.

2 Samuel 6:9 In-Context

7 Entonces la ira del SEÑOR se encendió contra Uza por su atrevimiento y lo hirió de muerte ahí mismo, de modo que Uza cayó fulminado junto al arca.

8 David se enojó porque el SEÑOR había matado a Uza, así que llamó a aquel lugar Peres Uza, nombre que conserva hasta el día de hoy.

9 Aquel día David se sintió temeroso del SEÑOR y exclamó: «¡Es mejor que no me lleve el arca del SEÑOR!»

10 Y como ya no quería llevarse el arca del SEÑOR a la Ciudad de David, ordenó que la trasladaran a la casa de Obed Edom, oriundo de Gat.

11 Fue así como el arca del SEÑOR permaneció tres meses en la casa de Obed Edom de Gat, y el SEÑOR lo bendijo a él y a toda su familia.
