Baas town was doubtless the original name. Town of woods describes the position of the place. Our text appears more correct than that of Samuel, which has, And David rose and went, and all the people that were with him, from BaalJudah. The Targum, LXX., and Syriac, translate that which the Authorised Version gives as a proper name, The people that were with him of the cities lords men of Judah. If this be right, perhaps Baalah has fallen out of the text of Samuel owing to its resemblance to the word <em>baal<\/em>. lords.

He proposes the matter to his great men and officers for their advice and concurrence. They had neglected the ark in the days of Saul, when religion went greatly to decay. It would be now the stability of the kingdom, and the happiness of the land, to enjoy the divine presence and favour; and therefore, if it seemed good to them, as he doubted not they would approve the motion, they would without delay collect the priests and Levites, and the principal men of the land, to attend the solemnity of bringing up the ark to Jerusalem. <em>Note; <\/em>(1.) To have God with us, should be our first and chief desire, as the foundation of all true felicity. (2.) Respect paid to those whom we might command, engages their consent to our wishes, and is the way to be obeyed with cheerfulness. <\/p>\n<p>2. The proposal was very much applauded; the congregation assembled from one end of the land to the other, and with great joy began the procession. <em>Note; <\/em>(1.) It is matter of unspeakable joy to true Israelites, to see the drooping cause of God revive. (2.) Widen princes are promoters of godliness, it should stir up ministers and people to correspond with their pious designs. <\/p>\n<p>2nd, The error they committed in removing the ark, has been already observed, <span class='bible'>2 Samuel 6<\/span> as well as the death of Uzza, and the interruption of the solemnity consequent thereupon. It may teach us, 1. Careful attention in the divine prescription, and not to make light of the least commandment. 2. That ignorance in those who minister before the ark, is especially criminal. 3. That in the midst of every earthly joy, we have need to tremble. 4. That discouraging providences are apt to cool our zeal in the way of duty; so that, like David in the present instance, we stop short. 5. The same word of God, like the ark to Uzzah and Obed-edom, is to one man the savour of life unto life, to another the savour of death unto death. <\/p>\n<h4 align='right'><i><b>Fuente: Commentary on the Holy Bible by Thomas Coke<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n<p> <em> <\/p>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n<p> 1Ch 13:6 <em> And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, [that is], to Kirjathjearim, which [belonged] to Judah, to bring up thence the ark of God the LORD, that dwelleth [between] the cherubims, whose name is called [on it].<\/p>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n<p> Ver. 6. <strong> That is, to Kirjathjearim.<\/strong> ] Called also Kirjathbaal.
