SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:12
¶ Y fue dado aviso al rey David, diciendo: El SEÑOR ha bendecido la casa de Obed-edom, y todo lo que tiene, a causa del arca de Dios. Entonces David fue, y trajo el arca de Dios de casa de Obed-edom a la ciudad de David con fiestas.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 6:12
Verse 12. So David-brought up the ark] The Vulgate adds to this verse: And David had seven choirs, and a calf for a sacrifice. The Septuagint make a greater addition: "And he had seven choirs carrying the ark, a sacrifice, a calf, and lambs. And David played on harmonious organs before the Lord; and David was clothed with a costly tunic; and David and all the house of Israel, brought the ark of the Lord with rejoicing, and the sound of a trumpet." Nothing of this is found in any MS., nor in the Chaldee, the Syriac, nor the Arabic, nor in the parallel place, 1 Chronicles xv. 25.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 12. And it was told King David , etc.] By some of his courtiers who had heard of it: saying, the Lord hath blessed the house of Obededom, and all that [pertaineth] unto him, because of the ark of the Lord ; it was so suddenly, in so short a time, and so largely, that it could not escape the notice and observation of men that knew him; and this increase was not in any natural way by which it could be accounted for; so that it could be ascribed to no other cause but the blessing of God, and that on account of the ark of God that was with him; nothing else could be thought of: so David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obededom into the city of David with gladness : being animated and encouraged by the blessing of God on the house of Obededom, because of it, and thereby freed from those slavish fears he was before possessed of, and filled with hopes of being blessed also on account of it; if not with temporal blessings, he needed not, yet with spiritual ones.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 12-19 - It became evident, that happy was the man who had the ark near him Christ is indeed a Stone of stumbling, and a Rock of offence, to thos that are disobedient; but to those that believe, he is a Corner-stone elect, precious, 1Pe 2:6-8. Let us be religious. Is the ark a blessin to others' houses? We may have it, and the blessing of it, withou fetching it away from our neighbours. David, at first setting out offered sacrifices to God. We are likely to speed in our enterprises when we begin with God, and give diligence to seek peace with him. An we are so unworthy, and our services are so defiled, that all our jo in God must be connected with repentance and faith in the Redeemer' atoning blood. David attended with high expressions of joy. We ought to serve God with our whole body and soul, and with every endowment an power we possess. On this occasion David laid aside his royal robes and put on a plain linen dress. David prayed with and for the people and as a prophet, solemnly blessed them in the name of the Lord.
