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.
