it came to pass, &c.--(See on Sa2 6:13-23).
they offered seven bullocks and seven rams--The Levites seem to have entered on this duty with fear and trembling; and finding that they might advance without any such indications of divine wrath as Uzza had experienced (Ch1 13:10), they offered an ox and a fatted sheep immediately after starting (Sa2 6:13), and seven bullocks and seven rams--a perfect sacrifice, at the close of the procession (Ch1 16:1). It is probable that preparations had been made for the offering of similar sacrifices at regular intervals along the way. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| When God helped the Levites - The death of Uzza had deeply impressed both David and the Levites, and it was doubted whether God would allow the ark to be moved anymore. Sacrificial animals were held ready; and when it appeared - by the movement of the ark six paces Sa2 6:13, without any manifestation of the divine displeasure - that God was not opposing but rather helping the Levites in their task, the victims were at once offered. |
| Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
| When God had helped the Levites who bare the ark of the covenant of Jahve, they offered seven bullocks and seven rams, i.e., after the journey had been happily accomplished. Instead of this, in Sa2 6:13, the offering which was made at the commencement of the journey to consecrate it is mentioned; see on the passage. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| Helped - Encouraging them in their work with some comfortable sign of his presence with them. In all our religious exercises, we must derive help from heaven. God's ministers that bare the vessels of the Lord, have special need of divine help in their ministrations, that God may be glorified thereby, and the people edified. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| God helped the Levites - When they saw that God had made no breach among them, as he had in the case of Uzza, in gratitude for their preservation, and his acceptance of their labor, they sacrificed seven bullocks and seven rams. |
1 So they brought [0935] the ark [0727] of God [0430], and set [03322] it in the midst [08432] of the tent [0168] that David [01732] had pitched [05186] for it: and they offered [07126] burnt sacrifices [05930] and peace offerings [08002] before [06440] God [0430].
13 And it was so, that when they that bare [05375] the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068] had gone [06805] six [08337] paces [06806], he sacrificed [02076] oxen [07794] and fatlings [04806].
10 And the anger [0639] of the LORD [03068] was kindled [02734] against Uzza [05798], and he smote [05221] him, because he put [07971] his hand [03027] to the ark [0727]: and there he died [04191] before [06440] God [0430].
13 And it was so, that when they that bare [05375] the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068] had gone [06805] six [08337] paces [06806], he sacrificed [02076] oxen [07794] and fatlings [04806].
14 And David [01732] danced [03769] before [06440] the LORD [03068] with all his might [05797]; and David [01732] was girded [02296] with a linen [0906] ephod [0646].
15 So David [01732] and all the house [01004] of Israel [03478] brought up [05927] the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068] with shouting [08643], and with the sound [06963] of the trumpet [07782].
16 And as the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068] came [0935] into the city [05892] of David [01732], Michal [04324] Saul's [07586] daughter [01323] looked [08259] through a window [02474], and saw [07200] king [04428] David [01732] leaping [06339] and dancing [03769] before [06440] the LORD [03068]; and she despised [0959] him in her heart [03820].
17 And they brought [0935] in the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068], and set [03322] it in his place [04725], in the midst [08432] of the tabernacle [0168] that David [01732] had pitched [05186] for it: and David [01732] offered [05927] burnt offerings [05930] and peace offerings [08002] before [06440] the LORD [03068].
18 And as soon as David [01732] had made an end [03615] of offering [05927] burnt offerings [05930] and peace offerings [08002], he blessed [01288] the people [05971] in the name [08034] of the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635].
19 And he dealt [02505] among all the people [05971], even among the whole multitude [01995] of Israel [03478], as well to the women [0802] as men [0376], to every one [0376] a [0259] cake [02471] of bread [03899], and a good piece [0829] of flesh, and a flagon [0809] of wine. So all the people [05971] departed [03212] every one [0376] to his house [01004].
20 Then David [01732] returned [07725] to bless [01288] his household [01004]. And Michal [04324] the daughter [01323] of Saul [07586] came out [03318] to meet [07125] David [01732], and said [0559], How glorious [03513] was the king [04428] of Israel [03478] to day [03117], who uncovered [01540] himself to day [03117] in the eyes [05869] of the handmaids [0519] of his servants [05650], as one [0259] of the vain fellows [07386] shamelessly [01540] uncovereth [01540] himself!
21 And David [01732] said [0559] unto Michal [04324], It was before [06440] the LORD [03068], which chose [0977] me before thy father [01], and before all his house [01004], to appoint [06680] me ruler [05057] over the people [05971] of the LORD [03068], over Israel [03478]: therefore will I play [07832] before [06440] the LORD [03068].
22 And I will yet be more vile [07043] than thus [02063], and will be base [08217] in mine own sight [05869]: and of the maidservants [0519] which thou hast spoken [0559] of, of them shall I be had in honour [03513].
23 Therefore Michal [04324] the daughter [01323] of Saul [07586] had no child [02056] [03206] unto the day [03117] of her death [04194].
13 And it was so, that when they that bare [05375] the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068] had gone [06805] six [08337] paces [06806], he sacrificed [02076] oxen [07794] and fatlings [04806].
13 And it was so, that when they that bare [05375] the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068] had gone [06805] six [08337] paces [06806], he sacrificed [02076] oxen [07794] and fatlings [04806].
