Commentary on 2 Samuel 6:18

Theological / Devotional

Blessed the people. David was a spiritual as well as secular leader of his people. It was altogether fitting that the king of Israel, who had been selected for his position by God, should pronounce upon the people the divine blessing. Compare the blessing of Solomon at the dedication of the Temple (1 Kings 8:14, 55).
