3 And let us bring again the ark of our God to us: for we enquired not at it in the days of Saul.
3 Let us bring the ark of our God back to us, for we did not inquire of
3 Then let us bring again the ark of our God to us, for we did not seek it
3 And let's bring the Chest of our God back - the Chest that was out of sight, out of mind during the days of Saul."
3 and let us bring the ark of our God back to us, for we have not inquired at it since the days of Saul."
3 It is time to bring back the Ark of our God, for we neglected it during the reign of Saul."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 13:3
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 13:1-5
(Read 1 Chronicles 13:1-5)
David said not, What magnificent thing shall I do now? or, What pleasant thing? but, What pious thing? that he might have the comfort and benefit of that sacred oracle. Let us bring the ark to us, that it may be a blessing to us. Those who honour God, profit themselves. It is the wisdom of those setting out in the world, to take God's ark with them. Those are likely to go on in the favour of God, who begin in the fear of God.
