We have a much more circumstantial account in this chapter, concerning the bringing up of the ark, than was given in the former. David’s preparing a place for the reception of the ark, before he fetched it: his particularly summoning the Levites, and commanding them both to sanctify themselves for the service, and to appoint the singers which ministered in the temple service; their names also are set down, and their particular abilities for the work: these things were not enumerated before, but are here specially marked. And above all, the singular and gracious help which the Lord gave the Levites in their ministry: this is noted with peculiar distinction, and for which the offering of sacrifices was observed.
