SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:5
Y David y toda la casa de Israel danzaban delante del SEÑOR con toda suerte de instrumentos de madera de haya; con arpas, salterios, adufes, flautas y címbalos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Samuel 6:5
Verse 5. On all manner of instruments made of fir wood] This place should be corrected from the parallel place, 1 Chronicles xiii. 8: "All Israel played before God, with all their might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries," &c. Instead of yx[ lkb bechol atsey, "with all woods" or "trees;" the parallel place is z[ lkb bechol oz. "with all their strength:" this makes a good sense, the first makes none. The Septuagint, in this place, has the verse reading; en iscui, with might.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 5. And David and all the house of Israel played before the Lord , etc.] That is, before the ark, which was a symbol of the presence of the Lord: on all manner of [instruments made of] fir wood : which is a general expression, the particulars follow; though instruments of different sorts are mentioned, and even some of metal, as cymbals, which were vessels of brass, they struck one against another, and gave a very acute sound, being hollow f108 ; even on harps, and on psalteries, and on timbrels, and on cornets, and on cymbals ; harps, psalteries, and timbrels, are frequently met with; cornets, according to Kimchi, are such sort of instruments, that in playing upon them it required an agitation of the whole body. Now it was that David penned the sixty eighth psalm, which begins, “let God arise”, etc. ( Psalm 68:1-35), words used by Moses when the ark set forward, ( Numbers 10:35).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-5 - God is present with the souls of his people, when they want the outwar tokens of his presence; but now David is settled in the throne, the honour of the ark begins to revive. Let us learn hence, to think and to speak highly of God; and to think and speak honourably of holy ordinances, which are to us as the ark was unto Israel, the tokens of God's presence, Mt 28:20. Christ is our Ark; in and by him God manifests his favour, and accepts our prayers and praises. The ar especially typified Christ and his mediation, in which the name of Jehovah and all his glories are displayed. The priests should have carried the ark upon their shoulders. Philistines may carry the ark in a cart without suffering for it; but if Israelites do so, it is a their peril, because this was not what God appointed.
