David being now king over all Israel, and
having taken the stronghold of the Jebusites,
which up to this time had been a continued
disgrace in their midst, he at once thinks Of
the Ark of God, pitches a tent for it in
Jerusalem ". IN and proceeds to bring it
thither
|. Again, David gathered together all the
chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand"
The previous chapter tells in its closing
verses of the gathering of Israel to defeat
their enemies the Philistines, and how David,
on two different occasions and by different
methods successfully overcame them, being
guided by the Lord in answer to prayer
CHAP. v, 1928 but this is u gathering not
to overcome enemies, but to rejoice in the
Lord and it was held after due consultation
with the captains of thousands and hundreds
and every leader. Il Chr. xiii, l-5.)
2. And David arose, and went with
all the people to bring up
from thence the Ark of God" The mar
gin of this verse, and also Chr xiii, 8, says
that they went to Baalah, that is, to Kir-
jath-jearim; the ark had been here in the
house of Abinadab since the time when the
Philistines sent it home in new cart drawn
by two milk COWS, leaving their calves shut
up at home. 1t had been with the Philistines
seven months, the Tabernacle being at Shiloh,
from whence the ark had been taken. Il Sam.
