2 Samuel 6

Commentary

2 Samuel 6 is a chapter that focuses on the ark of the covenant being brought to Jerusalem. This is a significant event in the history of Israel, as it marks the first time the ark has been brought to the city since the time of Moses. The chapter begins with David gathering the people of Israel together to bring the ark to Jerusalem. He is accompanied by a great procession of people, including the Levites who are carrying the ark. The procession is accompanied by music and dancing, and David himself is wearing a linen ephod. Once the ark is brought to Jerusalem, David offers sacrifices and blesses the people. He then goes into the tent of the Lord and worships. This is a significant moment, as it marks the first time the ark has been brought to Jerusalem since the time of Moses. The chapter ends with David's wife Michal rebuking him for his behavior. She is angry that he has exposed himself in such a way, and she is embarrassed by his actions. David responds by saying that he will be even more undignified than this, and that he will be even more humble in the presence of the Lord. This chapter is significant in that it marks the first time the ark of the covenant has been brought to Jerusalem since the time of Moses. It is also significant in that it shows David's humility and reverence for the Lord. He is willing to humble himself before the Lord, even if it means being embarrassed in front of his wife. This is an important lesson for us today, as it shows us the importance of humility and reverence in our relationship with God.
