SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:25
Pero dijo el rey a Sadoc: Vuelve el arca de Dios a la ciudad; que si yo hallare gracia en los ojos del SEÑOR, él me volverá, y me hará ver a ella y a su tabernáculo.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 15:25
Verse 25. Carry back the ark] David shows here great confidence in God, and great humility. The ark was too precious to be exposed to the dangers of his migrations; he knew that God would restore him if he delighted in him, and he was not willing to carry off from the city of God that without which the public worship could not be carried on. He felt, therefore, more for this public worship and the honour of God, than he did for his own personal safety.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 25. And the king said unto Zadok, carry back the ark of God into the city , etc.] The reason of which is not easy to account for, since being carried back it would fall into the hands of the conspirators; and now the priests were with it to take care of it, and there might be occasion to inquire at it before the Lord; but David thought it being a sacred thing would not be violated by Absalom and his men, and that it would be safest in its own habitation or tabernacle, which David had built for it; for, that the reason of it should be, what Procopius Gazaeus suggests, cannot be given into, that he could not bear to carry about him the law, which accused of adulteries and murders: if I shall find favour in the eyes of the Lord : if he will appear for me, be on my side, and deliver me from those who have risen up against me: he will bring me again : to Jerusalem, and to his palace there: and show me [both] it and his habitation ; the ark, and the tabernacle he had erected for it, ( 2 Samuel 6:17).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 24-30 - David is very careful for the safety of the ark. It is right to be mor concerned for the church's prosperity than our own; to prefer the success of the gospel above our own wealth, credit, ease, and safety Observe with what satisfaction and submission David speaks of the Divine disposal. It is our interest, as well as our duty, cheerfully to acquiesce in the will of God, whatever befalls us. Let us see God' hand in all events; and that we may not be afraid of what shall be, le us see all events in God's hand. David's sin was ever before him, P 51:3; but never so plain, nor ever appearing so black as now. He neve wept thus when Saul hunted him, but a wounded conscience makes trouble lie heavy, Ps 38:4.
