SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:13
Y cuando los que llevaban el arca de Dios habían andado seis pasos, sacrificaban un buey y un carnero grueso.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 13. And it was [so], that when they that bare the ark of the Lord , etc.] The Levites; for now David had seen the former mistake, and rectified it, and ordered the Levites to “carry” it, as they did upon their shoulders, with the staves therein, (see 1 Chronicles 15:2,12-15); when these had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings ; upon an altar, which was at once erected for that purpose; the number and kind of sacrifices offered were seven bullocks and seven rams, ( 1 Chronicles 15:26); and these David offered, not by himself, but by the priests that were with him, and that as soon as they had gone six paces from the house of Obededom; whereby they perceived the Levites, were able to carry the ark, with what was in it, the Lord helping them, as in ( 1 Chronicles 15:2,15), and without stumbling and falling, or any evil attending them; and Kimchi thinks these six paces were just the measure of the ground Uzzah went before what befell him; but it is highly probable that he had gone further; however, no doubt by the order of David, the Levites set down the ark, and sacrifices were offered by way of thanksgiving to God, and for the continuance of his goodness, and for atonement for former errors. Some think these seven oxen and rams were offered, at seven different times and places, at every six paces an ox and a ram; but this is not very likely.
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.
