from Baale of Judah--A very large force of picked men were selected for this important work lest the undertaking might be opposed or obstructed by the Philistines. Besides, a great concourse of people accompanied them out of veneration for the sacred article. The journey to Baale, which is related (Ch1 13:6), is here presupposed, and the historian describes the course of the procession from that place to the capital.
