1 Chronicles 13:12 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

God... ark of God. — Here and in 1 Chronicles 13:8; 1 Chronicles 13:14, &c. Samuel has Jehovah. The chronicler or his authority has avoided the frequent use of that most holy Name.

Saying. — Samuel, “and said.”

How.Hêk, an Aramaic form, perhaps due to a transcriber rather than to the author.

Shall I bring. — Samuel, “shall come.” Two different voices of the same verb.

1 Chronicles 13:12

12 And David was afraid of God that day, saying, How shall I bring the ark of God home to me?
