1Ch 15:1-24.
DAVID BRINGS THE ARK FROM OBEDEDOM.
1. David made him houses in the city of David--Through the liberality of his Tyrian ally
(1Ch 14:1),
David was enabled to erect not only a palace for himself, but to furnish suitable accommodation for his numerous family. Where polygamy prevails, each wife has a separate house or suite of apartments for herself and children.
prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent--that is, made an entirely new one upon the model of the former. The old tabernacle, which Moses had constructed in the wilderness and which had hitherto served the purpose of a sacred covering, was to be left at Gibeon, either because of the unwillingness of the inhabitants to part with such a venerable relic, or because there was no use for it in Jerusalem, where a more solid and sumptuous edifice was contemplated. If it appear surprising that David "made him houses" before he prepared this new tabernacle, it should be remembered that he had received no divine intimation respecting such a work.

2. 那時大衛說:除了利未人之外,無人可抬神的約櫃——經過三個月之後
(1Ch 13:14),
將約櫃運往耶路撒冷的計畫重新展開。時間與反思使人發現,破壞了第一次嘗試的那場慘痛災禍的根源。在為現在要將這神聖象徵迎入安息之所的莊嚴行列作預備時,大衛特別謹慎,務使搬運嚴格遵照律法的規定
(Nu 4:5, 15; 7:9; 10:17)。
英文原文
2. Then David said, None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites--After the lapse of three months
(1Ch 13:14)
the purpose of transporting the ark to Jerusalem was resumed. Time and reflection had led to a discovery of the cause of the painful catastrophe that marred the first attempt. In preparing for the solemn procession that was now to usher the sacred symbol into its resting-place, David took special care that the carriage should be regulated in strict conformity to the law
(Nu 4:5, 15; 7:9; 10:17).

3. 大衛招聚以色列眾人——有人認為此事是在三大節期之一舉行的,但無論典禮在何時舉行,召集百姓的普遍大會都極為重要,因為許多人因王國長期以來的動亂,可能幾乎沒有或完全沒有機會認識約櫃——它被容許在暗中擱置、被忽視已久。
英文原文
3. David gathered all Israel together--Some are of opinion that this was done on one of the three great festivals, but at whatever time the ceremonial took place, it was of great importance to summon a general convocation of the people, many of whom, from the long-continued disorders of the kingdom, might have had little or no opportunity of knowing anything of the ark, which had been allowed to remain so long in obscurity and neglect.

4. 大衛招聚亞倫的子孫和利未人——亞倫的子孫就是那兩位祭司
(1Ch 15:11)，
撒督和亞比亞他，分別為以利亞撒和以他瑪兩個祭司家族的領袖，並同任大祭司之職
(2Sa 20:25)。
利未人則為他們父家的首領
(1Ch 15:12)；
其中四位屬哥轄族，約櫃要扛在他們肩上；即烏列、示瑪雅——出自以利撒反或以斯本——
(Ex 6:22)、
希伯崙
(Ex 6:18; 1Ch 6:2)，
以及出自烏薛的亞米拿達
(Ex 6:22)。
英文原文
4. David assembled the children of Aaron, and the Levites--The children of Aaron were the two priests
(1Ch 15:11),
Zadok and Abiathar, heads of the two priestly houses of Eleazar and Ithamar, and colleagues in the high priesthood
(2Sa 20:25).
The Levites were the chiefs of their father's house
(1Ch 15:12);
four belonging to the Kohathite branch, on whose shoulders the ark was to be borne; namely, Uriel, Shemaiah--descended from Elizaphan or Elzaphan--
(Ex 6:22),
Hebron
(Ex 6:18; 1Ch 6:2),
and Amminadab from Uzziel
(Ex 6:22).

12. 你們要自潔——這種特別的自潔，在一切重大莊嚴的場合都是必須的，包括在最嚴格的節制與清潔——無論身體或衣著方面（參
Ge 35:2;
Ex 19:10, 15）；
若疏忽了這些規矩，便一步也不能進行
(2Ch 30:3)。
英文原文
12. sanctify yourselves--This special sanctification, which was required on all grave and important occasions, consisted in observing the strictest abstinence, as well as cleanliness, both in person and dress (see on
Ge 35:2;
Ex 19:10, 15);
and in the neglect of these rules no step could have been taken
(2Ch 30:3).

16-24. 大衛吩咐利未人的首領派……歌唱的拿樂器——這些顯要的利未人奉命訓練在他們手下的樂手和歌手，以備莊嚴的遊行。表演者分成三個詩班或樂隊，主要領袖的名字也列了出來
(1Ch 15:17, 18, 21)，
連同各隊所用的樂器。「便」
(1Ch 15:18)
在
(1Ch 15:20)
中被略去。這「便」字或者只是作為普通名詞使用，表明撒迦利亞是雅薛或亞薛的兒子；或者「便」就是亞撒雅
[1Ch 15:21]。
英文原文
16-24. David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint . . . the singers with instruments--These eminent Levites were instructed to train the musicians and singers who were under them, for the solemn procession. The performers were ranged in three choirs or bands, and the names of the principal leaders are given
(1Ch 15:17, 18, 21),
with the instruments respectively used by each. "Ben"
(1Ch 15:18)
is omitted
(1Ch 15:20).
Either it was used merely as a common noun, to intimate that Zechariah was the son of Jaaziel or Aziel, or Ben is the same as Azaziah
[1Ch 15:21].

22. 利未人的首領基拿尼雅——他不屬於六位利未家族的首領，而是因着他的職務而成為首領；這職務需要有學問，而不問出身或家族。
作歌唱之人的首領——他指揮這一切樂隊，指示各隊何時加入或變換音調；也有人將本節譯作「他帶領抬物的，因為他精通」，即精通搬運聖物時所必須遵守的規矩〔BERTHEAU〕。
英文原文
22. Chenaniah, chief of the Levites--He was not of the six heads of the Levitical families, but a chief in consequence of his office, which required learning, without regard to birth or family.
instructed about the song--He directed all these bands as to the proper time when each was to strike in or change their notes; or, as some render the passage, "He led the burdens, for he was skilled," that is, in the custom which it was necessary to observe in the carriage of the holy things [BERTHEAU].

23. 比利家和以利加拿作守門的——他們緊隨約櫃的前方行進，而俄別以東和耶利則在約櫃的後方。
英文原文
23. Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers--who marched immediately in front, while Obed-edom and Jeiel went in the rear, of the ark.

25. 於是大衛和長老……並千夫長……都去——大衛吩咐他一切主要的大臣和官員參與這莊嚴的工作，並為遊行隊伍安排如此盛大的排場和隆重的儀式，其敬虔的用意顯然是要激發百姓對約櫃深切的敬畏，並特別使年輕人得到有益的宗教印象；他們既曾見證王和國中最高的貴族參與、與其他各階層的人爭相尊榮以色列神的這一莊嚴盛典，這印象便會因回想而更新。
英文原文
25. So David, and the elders . . . and captains . . . went--The pious design of David in ordering all his principal ministers and officers to take part in this solemn work and imparting so much pomp and imposing ceremony to the procession, was evidently to inspire the popular mind with a profound veneration for the ark and to give the young especially salutary impressions of religion, which would be renewed by the remembrance that they had been witnesses of the august solemnity in which the king and the highest aristocracy of the land participated, vying with all other classes to do honor to the God of Israel.

26. 發生了等——（參
2Sa 6:13-23）。
他們獻七隻公牛、七隻公羊——利未人似乎是带着戰兢的心開始履行這項職務的；他們發現可以前行，而沒有出現烏撒所經歷的那樣的神怒記號
(1Ch 13:10)，
便在起行後立刻獻上一隻公牛和一隻肥羊
(2Sa 6:13)，
並在遊行結束之時獻上七隻公牛和七隻公羊——一次完全的祭
(1Ch 16:1)。
大概沿途已預備好在固定的間隔獻上類似的祭物。
英文原文
26. it came to pass, &c.--(See on
2Sa 6:13-23).
they offered seven bullocks and seven rams--The Levites seem to have entered on this duty with fear and trembling; and finding that they might advance without any such indications of divine wrath as Uzza had experienced
(1Ch 13:10),
they offered an ox and a fatted sheep immediately after starting
(2Sa 6:13),
and seven bullocks and seven rams--a perfect sacrifice, at the close of the procession
(1Ch 16:1).
It is probable that preparations had been made for the offering of similar sacrifices at regular intervals along the way.

27. 一件細麻布的以弗得——希伯來文 Butz——在後期的書卷中較被認為是指棉花。
以弗得——一件肩衣，即套在他衣裳上的一種腰帶或短披肩。它是祭司所穿的，但並非他們所獨有以致別人不可穿
(1Sa 2:18; 22:18)。
英文原文
27. a robe of fine linen--Hebrew, Butz--is rather supposed in the later books to denote cotton.
an ephod--a shoulder-garment, a cincture or cape over his dress. It was worn by the priests, but was not so peculiar to them as to be forbidden others
(1Sa 2:18; 22:18).

29. 米甲……看見大衛跳舞踴躍——他的動作緩慢而莊重，與音樂那肅穆莊嚴的性質相配。他雖脫下王袍，卻像其他官員一樣穿着，表明在神面前那合宜的謙卑。米甲所表現的情感，不過是一個驕傲而易怒的婦人所發的怨憤。
英文原文
29. Michal . . . saw . . . David dancing and playing--His movements would be slow and solemn, suitable to the grave and solemn character of the music. Though his royal robes were laid aside, he was attired like the other officials, showing a becoming humility in the immediate presence of God. The feelings manifested by Michal were only an ebullition of spleen from a proud and passionate woman.
1Ch 15:1-24.
大衛從俄別以東運回約櫃
1. 大衛在大衛城為自己建造宮殿——靠著推羅盟友的慷慨
(1Ch 14:1),
大衛不僅得為自己建造宮殿,也能為眾多的家眷預備合適的居所。在實行多妻制的地方,每一位妻子都有獨立的房屋或一套居室,供自己與子女居住。
為神的約櫃預備地方,支搭帳幕——即按先前那座的樣式,搭了一座全新的。摩西在曠野所造、迄今一直用作神聖遮蓋的舊會幕,則留在基遍;或因當地居民不願割捨如此珍貴的聖物,或因耶路撒冷既已計劃建造更為堅固華美的殿宇,它已無用武之地。倘若大衛「為自己建造宮殿」竟先於他預備這座新會幕,似令人驚奇,但應記得他並未就這一工程領受任何神的指示。
