2 Samuel 6:1

CHAPTER VI

David goes with thirty thousand men to being the ark from

Kiriath-jearim to Jerusalem, 1-5.

The ox stumbling, Uzzah, who drove the cart on which the ark

was placed, put forth his hand to save it from falling: the

Lord was displeased, and smote him so that he died, 6, 7.

David, being alarmed, carries the ark to the house of

Obed-edom, 8-10.

Here it remained three months; and God prospered Obed-edom, in

whose house it was deposited, 11.

David, hearing of this, brings the ark, with sacrifices and

solemn rejoicings, to Jerusalem, 12-15.

Michal, seeing David dance before the ark, despises him, 16.

He offers burnt-offerings and peace offerings, and deals among

all the people, men and women, a cake of bread, a good piece

of flesh, and a flagon of wine each, 17-19.

Michal coming to meet him, and seeing him dance extravagantly

before the ark, reproaches him for his conduct: he vindicates

himself, reproves her, and she dies childless, 20-23.

Verse 2 Samuel 6:1. Thirty thousand.] This is supposed to have been a new levy; and thus he augmented his army by 30,000 fresh troops. The Septuagint has 70,000.
