3. David gathered all IsraeltogetherSome are of opinion that this was done on one of thethree great festivals, but at whatever time the ceremonial tookplace, it was of great importance to summon a general convocation ofthe people, many of whom, from the long-continued disorders of thekingdom, might have had little or no opportunity of knowing anythingof the ark, which had been allowed to remain so long in obscurity andneglect.

to bring up the ark of the Lord; from the house of Obededom, where it had been three months, and for the sake of which his house was blessed, and which David heard of; and this encouraged him to take this step to fetch it from thence: unto his place, which he had prepared for it;

I refer the Reader as before, to the account of this transaction, as related in the book of Samuel, for the history is the same. But I beg the Reader to remark with me, the charge the king gave to the Levites. They had seen the awful judgment of Uzzah, and therefore it would be at their peril, if they did not set themselves apart for this service. And the king assigns the reason for the punishment of Uzzah. The Lord our God (said he) made a breach upon us, for that we sought him not after the due order. Reader! do Observe the modesty and humility of David. He includes himself in this neglect. We sought him not, said David. It is a blessed mark of grace, when we take shame to ourselves, rather than put it upon others. Accepting the punishment of our iniquity, is made a testimony by the Lord of being in the covenant. Lev 26:41 .
