And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which [was] at Gibeah, etc.] That is, the new cart, which is the last thing spoken of, (<100603>2 Samuel 6:3); and the bringing of the ark out of his house is mentioned before; though some take this to be the coffer in which were the presents of the Philistines, which was now brought out along with the ark, (see <090608>1 Samuel 6:8); accompanying the ark of God; or “with the ark of God” f107; that is, they brought the new cart “from” the house of Abinadab on the hill, with the ark of God upon it: and Ahio went before the ark; guiding the oxen that drew it, and Uzzah might go behind, or on one side, to take care that the ark fell not out of it.
