This site's exposition
the thing was right in the eyes of all the people
on 1 Chronicles 13:4-6
The whole congregation agrees without dissent, and David summons Israel from Shihor of Egypt to the entering of Hemath, the nation's outer borders named to mark this as an all-Israel undertaking rather than a local errand. The ark had rested at Kirjath-jearim, also called Baalah, since the men of that town received it back from the Philistines a generation earlier. Verse 6 names it fully, the ark of God the LORD that dwelleth between the cherubims, whose name is called on it, the throne title the Law itself gives it at Exodus 25:22.

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).
