So David gathered all Israel together, etc.] The principal of them, even 30,000 select men, (<100601>2 Samuel 6:1) from Shihor of Egypt; or the Nile of Egypt, as the Targum and other Jewish writers, called Shihor from the blackness of its water, (see <240218> Jeremiah 2:18) though some think the river Rhinocurura is meant, which both lay to the south of the land of Israel: even unto the entering of Hamath; which the Targum interprets of Antiochia, which lay to the north of the land; so that this collection of the people was made from south to north, the extreme borders of the land: to bring the ark of God from Kirjathjearim; where it then was, and had been a long time, (see <090701>1 Samuel 7:1), from hence to the end of the chapter the account is the same with (<100601>2 Samuel 6:1-11), see the notes there; what little variations there are, are there observed.
