SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:2
Y dijo David a todo la congregación de Israel: Si os parece bien y del SEÑOR nuestro Dios, enviaremos a todas partes a llamar nuestros hermanos que han quedado en todas las tierras de Israel, y a los sacerdotes y levitas que están con ellos en sus ciudades y ejidos que se junten con nosotros;
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 2. And David said unto all the congregation of Israel , etc.] To the above persons, as representatives of it: if it seem good unto you, and that it be of the Lord our God ; if it could be thought by them a good and useful thing, and agreeable to the will of God, and would make for his glory: let us send abroad unto our brethren everywhere that are left in all the land of Israel ; that were not then present with them, even all the common people; whom David, though king, owns as his brethren; nor is his antitype ashamed to own this relation between him and his people, ( Hebrews 2:11) and with them also to the priests and Levites which are in their cities and suburbs : given to them in the several tribes to dwell in, (see Chronicles 6:54-81), that they may gather themselves unto us ; at a certain time and place appointed.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-5 - David said not, What magnificent thing shall I do now? or, What pleasant thing? but, What pious thing? that he might have the comfor and benefit of that sacred oracle. Let us bring the ark to us, that is may be a blessing to us. Those who honour God, profit themselves. It is the wisdom of those setting out in the world, to take God's ark with them. Those are likely to go on in the favour of God, who begin in the fear of God. (1Ch 13:6-14)
