John Gill's Bible Commentary Ver. 4. And all the congregation said that they would do so , etc.] They unanimously agreed to the motion: for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people ; they saw the propriety, necessity, and usefulness of it.
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)
