(6) Assembled.(Nad, to meet at an appointed time and place, Exo. 25:22). Not the same word as in 2Ch. 5:2-3 (qhal), of which the root meaning is probably to call together.
Before the ark.By the omission of a single Hebrew word [itt] before this phrase, the whole form of the sentence is altered from that of Kings. There we read (were) with him before the Ark sacrificing, &c.
Sacrificed.Were sacrificing.
And the priests . . .The verse is wholly identical with 1Ki. 8:6 (see Notes there).
