1 Samuel 4:5 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

All Israel shouted From their great joy, and confidence of success. So formal Christians triumph in external privileges and performances; as if the ark in the camp would bring them to heaven, though the world and flesh reign in their hearts.

1 Samuel 4:5

5 And when the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again.
