2Sa 6 | TSK | STEP | David fetches the ark from Kirjath-jearim on a new cart. Uzzah is smitten at Perez-uzzah. God blesses Obed-edom for the ark. David brings the ark into Zion with sacrifices, and dances before it; for which Michal despises him. He places it in a tabernacle with great joy and feasting. Michal, reproving David for his religious joy, is childless to her death.

on all manner.This place should doubtless be corrected from the parallel place, 1 Ch 13:8; where, instead of {bechol âtzey beroshim,} which is literally, "with all trees or wood of fir," we read {bechol ôz oovesheerim,} "with all their might, and with songs." This makes a good sense, while the former makes none: the LXX. have the same reading here, [en ischui, kai en odais.]

uncovered.We are only to understand by this expression that David had divested himself of his royal robes, in order to appear humble before the Lord, by assimilating himself to the condition of one of the priests or Levites: for we find that he was "girded with a linen ephod;" and consequently no part of his body was exposed, having only put off his outer garments. The terms uncovered or naked frequently mean no more than this in Scripture.
