Commentary

Commentary on 1 Chronicles 15:29

Theological / Devotional

City of David. The entry of the ark into the City of David was a joyous and solemn occasion. God planned that Jerusalem should become the metropolis of all the earth, the center of religious instruction for the nation. If Israel had continued faithful to God, Jerusalem would have remained the capital of Israel forever, and God would have continued to bless the city and its people with His presence through all time to come (see Desire of Ages 577; Patriarchs and Prophets 46, 564).

Dancing. David’s dancing was an act of holy joy (see on 2 Samuel 6:14) then considered an appropriate form of worship.

Despised him. The sequel to this incident, in which Michal upbraided David for his actions on this occasion, is found in 2 Samuel 6:20-22.
