**congregation** = military assembly, or muster.
**that be.** Supply the *Ellipsis* ( App-6 ), "If it be".
**brethren.** So the true David calls them ([Hebrews 2:11](../../../kjv/hebrews/2/11) ).

**the ark of our God.** Note its titles in these two books of Chronicles: the Ark, fifteen times; the Ark of God, twelve times; the Ark of the Lord, four times; the Ark of the Covenant of God, once; the Ark of Thy strength, once; the holy Ark, once; the Ark of our God, once. Forty-six in all. See note on [Exodus 25:22](../../../kjv/exodus/25/22) .
**enquired not at it.** Hebrew. *darash* , to seek diligently. See note on [1 Chronicles 10:13](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/10/13) .

**Shihor.** Not the Nile, but the brook (or Wady) of Egypt ([Numbers 34:5](../../../kjv/numbers/34/5) .[Joshua 15:4](../../../kjv/joshua/15/4) , [Joshua 15:47](../../../kjv/joshua/15/47) ) = El Arish.
**entering of Hemath** = the pass of Hemath, on the extreme north ([Numbers 34:8](../../../kjv/numbers/34/8) ).

**Kirjath-jearim.** Compare [2 Samuel 6:2](../../../kjv/2-samuel/6/2) , where it is Baale of Judah.
**God.** Elohim (with Art.) = the [true] God. App-4 .
**Whose name is called on it** = where His Name is invoked.

**a new cart.** See note on 1Sa 6:7 . [2 Samuel 6:3](../../../kjv/2-samuel/6/3) .
**drave** = were leading beside: or, escorting.

**with all their might.** Compare [2 Samuel 6:5](../../../kjv/2-samuel/6/5) . No need to arbitrarily make this correspond. They are two independent books, complementary in their information.
**and.** Note the Figure of speech *Polysyndeton* ( App-6 ) in this verse, emphasizing each item.
**timbrels.** See note on [Exodus 15:20](../../../kjv/exodus/15/20) .
**cymbals.** Hebrew. *meziltayim* : two metal discs, making a clashing sound. Always so rendered. Not to be confounded (as in Authorized Version and Revised Version) with zilzelim = timbrels, which make a rustling sound, but rendered "cymbals" in [2 Samuel 6:5](../../../kjv/2-samuel/6/5) .[Psalms 150:5](../../../kjv/psalms/150/5) .

**Chidon.** See [2 Samuel 6:6](../../../kjv/2-samuel/6/6) ; where he has another name, Nachon.

**Uzza.** See [2 Samuel 6:6](../../../kjv/2-samuel/6/6) , [2 Samuel 6:7](../../../kjv/2-samuel/6/7) .
**died before God.** Showing the sin of disobeying the Divine commands.

**displeased** = grieved, sad.

**brought not the ark home.** See [2 Samuel 6:10](../../../kjv/2-samuel/6/10) , [2 Samuel 6:11](../../../kjv/2-samuel/6/11) .
