David having prepared a place for the ark,15. the priests and Levites bring it from Obed-Edom 25. He performs the solemnity thereof with great joy 29. Michal despises him Now David was clothed in a robe of fine linen The phrase "clothed in a robe of fine linen" signifies a garment of purity and righteousness. In Hebrew, the word for "fine linen" is "shesh," which often denotes garments used in sacred contexts, such as those worn by priests. This attire symbolizes David's role not only as a king but as a spiritual leader, emphasizing his humility and reverence before God. The robe signifies preparation and sanctification for the holy task of transporting the Ark of the Covenant, reflecting the importance of approaching God with purity and respect. as were all the Levites who were carrying the ark and as were the singers and Chenaniah the leader of the music of the singers David also wore a linen ephod A robe of fine linen.--Heb., a me'il of byssus. The me'il was an upper garment worn by persons of rank (2Samuel 12:18; 1Samuel 15:27; Job 29:14). And all the Levites . . . and the singers, and Chenaniah.--Scil., were clothed with a me'il of byssus. The master of the song.--Rather, the chief (overseer) of the bearing. (Comp. 1Chronicles 15:22.) . . . Verse 27. - Several things in this verse indicate a somewhat uncertain and unsteady selection of particulars by the compiler from his original sources. The natural reading of the verse would seem to say that David and all those Levites who bore the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah, all wore the robe of byssus, while David had, in addition, the ephod of linen. Yet it is unlikely that all did wear the robe. Again, the Hebrew text exhibits no preposition before the singers, on the second occasion of the occurrence of the expression in this verse. Yet little sense can be found without a preposition. The robe was not distinctively a priest's garment (1 Samuel 18:4; 1 Samuel 24:5, 12; 2 Samuel 13:18; Job 1:20; Job 2:12), though priests did wear it. The robe of byssus is spoken of only here; 2 Chronicles 5:12; and Esther 8:15. Byssus, however, is spoken of as material for other purposes in 1 Chronicles 4:21; 2 Chronicles 2:14; 2 Chronicles 3:14; Esther 1:6; Ezekiel 27:16. The ephod, on the other hand, was no doubt distinctively a high priest's garment (Exodus 28:4-12), though we read of Samuel wearing one (1 Samuel 2:18, 28), and of David doing the same, as on this occasion. The fine linen (בּוצ), in the first clause of this verse, is not the same with that (בָּך) in the last clause. The first clause of this verse (which makes the last clause somewhat redundant) bears some resemblance in letters to the 2 Samuel 6:14 fourteenth verse of 2 Samuel 6. first clause, which means, "and David danced with all his might," and the two clauses exactly answer to one another in position - another suggestion of an uncertain text here.Parallel Commentaries ...
