2 Samuel 6

2 Samuel 6:1

In the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month.

So great a work could not be suddenly done: there must be a just time for the gathering of all the materials; for felling, hewing, seasoning of the timber. In the fourth year therefore of his reign, did Solomon begin this magnificent structure of the Temple; and in the second month, which, by God’s own computation, was the month of April.

2 Samuel 6:4

And for the house he made windows of narrow lights.

And for the Temple he made windows, narrow without and large within, for the more clear transmitting of the light into all the parts of the house.

2 Samuel 6:7

And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzzah.

And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah, for his presumption in touching the ark, which should have been carried on the shoulders of sacred persons, not on a cart, as the Philistines had placed it; and, though it might be carried by the sons of Levi, yet might it not be touched by them.

2 Samuel 6:14

And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.

And David testified the joy of his heart, by the vehement and cheerful motions of his body, in a grave and holy manner, dancing before the ark of God; and, for the more freedom and ease of that motion, had girded a linen garment close about him.

2 Samuel 6:20

Who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the hand-maids of his servants.

Who, casting off the robes of majesty (which would have become his person, and this action,) and, arraying himself basely, exposed himself and his gestures to the scorn and derision, even of boys and girls in the street.

2 Samuel 6:23

Had no child unto the day of her death.

Michal was punished with barrenness, all the days of her life.

2 Samuel 6:30

And the floor of the house he overlaid with gold, within and without.

And the floor of the Temple he overlaid with gold; not only in that part which was within the partition of the oracle or Holy of Holies, but in the outer part thereof also.
