"So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjathjearim."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

So David gathered all Israel together,.... The principal of them, even 30,000 select men, Sa2 6:1 . from Shihor of Egypt; or the Nile of Egypt, as the Targum and other Jewish writers, called Shihor from the blackness of its water, see Jer

2:18 though some think the river Rhinocurura is meant, which both lay to the south of the land of Israel: even unto the entering of Hamath; which the Targum interprets of Antiochia, which lay to the north of the land; so that this collection of the people was made from south to north, the extreme borders of the land: to bring the ark of God from Kirjathjearim; where it then was, and had been a long time, see Sa1 7:1 , from hence to the end of the chapter the account is the same with Sa2 6:1 , see the notes there; what little variations there are, are there observed. See Gill on Sa2 6:1 , Sa2 6:2 , Sa2 6:3 , Sa2 6:4 , Sa2 6:5 , Sa2 6:6 , Sa2 6:7 , Sa2 6:8 , Sa2 6:9 , Sa2 6:10 , Sa2 6:11 Next: 1 Chronicles Chapter 14 Sacred Texts | Bible « Previous: John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible: 1 Chronicles:...
