John Gill's Bible Commentary Ver. 3. And David gathered all Israel together to Jerusalem , etc.] The chief and heads of the people: to bring up the ark of the Lord ; from the house of Obededom, where it had been three months, and for the sake of which his house was blessed, and which David heard of; and this encouraged him to take this step to fetch it from thence: unto his place, which he had prepared for it; ( 1 Chronicles 15:1 2 Samuel 6:12,17).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-24 - Wise and good men may be guilty of oversights, which they will correct as soon as they are aware of them. David does not try to justify what had been done amiss, nor to lay the blame on others; but he own himself guilty, with others, of not seeking God in due order
