Wesley's Notes for 1 Chronicles 13:4


13:2 David said - After this was proposed by the king and accepted bythe people, this great assembly was dismissed, only some of them Davidreserved to go with him against Jerusalem, which accordingly he did,and succeeded in his enterprize. But before this resolution could beexecuted, the Philistines came and fought twice with David, as isrelated #2Sam 5:17|,22, &c. and here chap.#1Ch 14:8|, &c. And afterthey were repulsed with great loss and shame, David sets upon theexecution of what he had resolved, and in order to it calls another generalassembly of the people. Of the Lord - If this translation of the ark bepleasing to God. Are left - After the great desolations and destructionswhich God for their sins had made among them.

13:3 For, &c. - The ark was then neglected; and the generality of thepeople contented themselves with going to Gibeon and offering sacrificesthere, not caring, though the ark, the soul of the tabernacle, was inanother place. As soon as David had power in his hand, he would use itfor the advancement of religion. It ought to be the first care of thosethat are enriched or preferred, to honour God with their honours, and toserve him and the interests of his kingdom among men, with their wealthand power.

13:6 That is - The same city was called by both names.
