“In our prayers we talk to God, in our Bible study God talks to us, and we had better let God do most of the talking.”
— D.L. Moody
Scripture focus
And David arose, and went with all the people that [were] with him from Baale of Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, whose name is called by the name of the LORD of hosts that dwelleth [between] the cherubims.
2 Samuel 6:2 — KJV
Baale of Judah. Another name for Kirjath-jearim (Joshua 15:9; 1 Chron. 13:6), about 9 mi. to the northwest of Jerusalem.
Name of the Lord. The ark was the symbol of the presence of God and thus was called by His holy name. God’s people (Deut. 28:10) and His Temple (1 Kings 8:43) were also called by His name, literally, “the name of Yahweh is called upon” them, evidently in the sense of possession.
Between the cherubims. The word “between” is not in the Hebrew, and the relationship of the word “dwelleth” to the cherubim is a matter of interpretation. The word translated “dwelleth” is also frequently translated “to sit” (Gen. 18:1; 19:1; 21:16; etc.).
