Commentary on 1 Chronicles 15:2

Theological / Devotional

Carry the ark. For the Mosaic instructions concerning the moving of the ark, see Numbers 4:5-15. The carrying of the ark was only one of the duties of the Levites (Deuteronomy 10:8), and this duty was assigned to the Kohathite branch (Numbers 4:15). David’s present enunciation of the law is an acknowledgment that it had not been observed in the previous effort to transfer the ark three months before (see 1 Chronicles 13:7-10; 15:12, 13). The account in Samuel specifically states that on this occasion the ark was carried (2 Samuel 6:13).
