Contextual Overview
1 David talked with all the officers of his army. 2 Then he called the Israelites together and said, "If you think it is a good idea, and if it is what the Lord our God wants, let us send a message to our brothers in all the areas of Israel. Let's also send the message to the priests and Levites who live with our brothers in their towns and the fields near those towns. Let the message tell them to come and join us. 3 Let's bring our God's Holy Box back to us in Jerusalem. We did not pay attention to it while Saul was king." 4 So all the Israelites agreed with David. They all thought it was the right thing to do. 5 So David gathered all the Israelites from the Shihor River in Egypt to the town of Lebo Hamath. They came together to bring the Box of the Agreement back from the town of Kiriath Jearim. 6 David and all the Israelites with him went to Baalah of Judah. (Baalah is another name for Kiriath Jearim.) They went there to bring out the Holy Box of God the Lord , who sits above the Cherub angels. It is the Box that is called by his name. 7 The people moved God's Holy Box from Abinadab's house and put it on a new wagon. Uzzah and Ahio were driving the wagon. 8 David and all the Israelites were celebrating before God. They were praising God and singing songs. They were playing harps, lyres, drums, cymbals, and trumpets.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
So David gathered all Israel together,.... The principal of them, even 30,000 select men, 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 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 1 Samuel 7:1, from hence to the end of the chapter the account is the same with 2 Samuel 6:1, see the notes there; what little variations there are, are there observed.
