Commentary on the Bible · Written before 1832.

Whose name is called on it - “Where his name is invoked.” - T. And so the Hebrew, אשר נקרא שם asher nikra shem, should be understood, his name was not called on it, but invoked at it.

This site's exposition

this proposal seemed right to all the people

on 1 Chronicles 13:4-6

David assembled all Israel, from the River Shihor in Egypt to Lebo-hamath. The ark had rested at Kiriath-jearim since the men of that town received it back from the Philistines. Verse 6 gives its full title, the ark of God the LORD, who is enthroned between the cherubim.

This site's exposition

went up to Baalah of

Baalah is the older name of Kiriath-jearim (Joshua 15:9), called Baale-judah in 2 Samuel 6:2. Clarke takes the Name as invoked at the ark, and Jamieson, Fausset and Brown render the phrase as the LORD worshipped there. The cherubim formed His throne.

David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah--(See on 2Sa 6:1-11). whose name is called on it--rather, "who is worshipped there" (2Sa 6:2).
