2 Samuel 6:12

12 nuntiatumque est regi David benedixit Dominus Obededom et omnia eius propter arcam Dei abiit ergo David et adduxit arcam Dei de domo Obededom in civitatem David cum gaudio

2 Samuel 6:12 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 6:12

And it was told King David
By some of his courtiers who had heard of it:

saying, the Lord hath blessed the house of Obededom, and all that
[pertaineth] unto him, because of the ark of the Lord;
it was so suddenly, in so short a time, and so largely, that it could not escape the notice and observation of men that knew him; and this increase was not in any natural way by which it could be accounted for; so that it could be ascribed to no other cause but the blessing of God, and that on account of the ark of God that was with him; nothing else could be thought of:

so David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obededom
into the city of David with gladness:
being animated and encouraged by the blessing of God on the house of Obededom, because of it, and thereby freed from those slavish fears he was before possessed of, and filled with hopes of being blessed also on account of it; if not with temporal blessings, he needed not, yet with spiritual ones.

2 Samuel 6:12 In-Context

10 et noluit devertere ad se arcam Domini in civitate David sed devertit eam in domo Obededom Getthei

11 et habitavit arca Domini in domo Obededom Getthei tribus mensibus et benedixit Dominus Obededom et omnem domum eius

12 nuntiatumque est regi David benedixit Dominus Obededom et omnia eius propter arcam Dei abiit ergo David et adduxit arcam Dei de domo Obededom in civitatem David cum gaudio

13 cumque transcendissent qui portabant arcam Domini sex passus immolabat bovem et arietem

14 et David saltabat totis viribus ante Dominum porro David erat accinctus ephod lineo
