And all Judah stood before the LORD, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.

Ver. 13. And all Judah stood before the Lord.] Ex singulis familiis omnes All from each family. Joh 3:5

With their little ones, their wives, and their children.] To move pity, to excite devotion, and to offer a holy violence to the Almighty. Haec enim vis grata est Deo, saith Tertullian. Such a violence is well pleasing to God.
