| Commentaries and Concordances |
| GSB: | 6:1 And the ark of the LORD was in the country of the Philistines {a} seven months.
(a) They thought by continuance of time the plague would have ceased, and so would have kept the ark still. |
| WES: | 6:1 Seven months - So long they kept it, as loath to lose so great a prize, and willing to try all ways to keep it. |
| MHC: | 6:1-9 Seven months the Philistines were punished with the presence of the ark; so long it was a plague to them, because they would not send it home sooner. Sinners lengthen out their own miseries by refusing to part with their sins. The Israelites made no effort to recover the ark. Alas! where shall we find concern for religion prevail above all other matters? In times of public calamity we fear for ourselves, for our families, and for our country; but who cares for the ark of God? We are favoured with the gospel, but it is treated with neglect or contempt. We need not wonder if it should be taken from us; to many persons this, though the heavies of calamities, would occasion no grief. There are multitudes whom any profession would please as well as that of Christianity. But there are those who value the house, the word, and the ministry of God above their richest possessions, who dread the loss of these blessings more than death. How willing bad men are to shift off their convictions, and when they are in trouble, to believe it is a chance that happens; and that the rod has no voice which they should hear or heed! |
