The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 1 Chronicles 15:25-29

The Removal Effected v. 25. So David and the elders of Israel and the captains over thousands, all the foremost men of the kingdom, went to bring up the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord out of the house of Obed-edom with joy. The pomp and solemnity of the occasion, together with its evident joyous aspect, were bound to make a deep impression on the minds of all who participated and thus fill them with veneration for the ark and all it stood for. v. 26. And it came to pass, when God helped... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 15:1-29

From this account of bringing the Ark from the house of Obed-edom into the city, it is evident that David had learned the lesson which the death of Uzzah was intended to teach. He declared that the work of carrying the Ark must be the Levites' only. After careful preparation of the Tent for its reception, which would almost certainly be according to the ancient pattern given to Moses, the ceremony of bearing it into its resting place was carried out. The king's love of music is evident in... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Chronicles 15:1-29

1 Chronicles 15:1 to 1 Chronicles 16:43 . The Bringing up of the Ark to Jerusalem ( cf. 2 Samuel 6:12-Proverbs : a).— The account given by the Chronicler is much more elaborate, stress being laid on the part played by the priests and Levites; they are not mentioned in 2 S. 1 Chronicles 15:2. Cf. Numbers 1:50; Numbers 4:15; Numbers 7:9; Numbers 10:17. On the previous occasion of the removal of the Ark, the Law had not been observed ( 1 Chronicles 13:7; cf. 1 Chronicles 15:13). 1 Chronicles... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 1 Chronicles 15:26

When God helped the Levites; either, 1. By giving them strength to carry their burden; or rather, 2. By encouraging them in their work with some comfortable sign of his presence with them, and approbation of their work and manner of carrying the ark: when they saw that he did not cut off any of the persons employed, as he had done before, but spared and favoured them; which they perceived when they had gone six paces, as appears by 2 Samuel 6:13. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Chronicles 15:1-29

CRITICAL NOTES.] The bulk of this chapter consists of new matter, which the writer of Chronicles found in his authorities, and regarding as important for his purpose, introduced at this point into the narrative.

To record the things that God had done so that the... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Chronicles 15:1-29

1 Chronicles 15:2 . None ought to carry the ark of God but the levites; and they were enjoined to carry it by staves, and on their shoulders. This plainly suggests the reason of God’s awful displeasure against Uzza, who unmindful of the duties of his office, indulged in the profane indolence of the Philistines, in carrying the sacred ark on a cart, and died for his presumption. 1 Chronicles 15:17 . Heman, Asaph, and Jeduthun were appointed the chief singers. Asaph composed twelve... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 1 Chronicles 15:26

1Ch 15:26 And it came to pass, when God helped the Levites that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD, that they offered seven bullocks and seven rams. Ver. 26. When God helped the Levites that bare the ark. ] So helped them, say the Rabbis, that they felt not any weight thereof upon their shoulders. Rather God helped there, that is, he not only spared them - Uzzah met not with such a mercy - but enabled them and relieved them. Will he not do as much for his faithful ministers That they... read more
