Gill's Notes on the Bible
Again, David gathered together all [the] chosen [men] of Israel, thirty thousand. Which was done by the advice of his officers, 1 Chronicles 13:1; the word "again" refers either to the gathering of them when they made him king in Hebron, as the Jewish writers generally observe; but then they gathered themselves, and not David: or rather to his gathering them to fight the Philistines a little while ago; and as they were the choice and young men that were gathered for war, as being the fittest, so now to fetch up the ark with dancing and singing, and to protect it; the Septuagint version says they were about seventy thousand; but the Targum, Syriac, and Arabic versions, have thirty thousand, agreeably to the Hebrew text.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Again - It should be, “and David again gathered,” etc., i. e. after the previous gathering, either for his election to the kingdom 2 Samuel 5:1-3 or for the Philistine war 2 Samuel 5:17-25, he assembled them again for the peaceful purpose of bringing up the ark to Mount Zion (see marginal reference). The whole narrative indicates the progressive consolidation of David’s power, and the settlement of his monarchy on strong foundations.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER VI
David goes with thirty thousand men to being the ark from
Kiriath-jearim to Jerusalem, 1-5.
The ox stumbling, Uzzah, who drove the cart on which the ark
was placed, put forth his hand to save it from falling: the
Lord was displeased, and smote him so that he died, 6, 7.
David, being alarmed, carries the ark to the house of
Obed-edom, 8-10.
Here it remained three months; and God prospered Obed-edom, in
whose house it was deposited, 11.
David, hearing of this, brings the ark, with sacrifices and
solemn rejoicings, to Jerusalem, 12-15.
Michal, seeing David dance before the ark, despises him, 16.
He offers burnt-offerings and peace offerings, and deals among
all the people, men and women, a cake of bread, a good piece
of flesh, and a flagon of wine each, 17-19.
Michal coming to meet him, and seeing him dance extravagantly
before the ark, reproaches him for his conduct: he vindicates
himself, reproves her, and she dies childless, 20-23.
NOTES ON CHAP. VI
