This gathering reflects David's role as a unifying leader, bringing together the tribes of Israel. It highlights the significance of the Ark of the Covenant and its centrality to Israel's identity and worship. The assembly of all Israel also underscores the communal nature of worship and the collective responsibility of the nation to honor God.<p><b>from the River Shihor in Egypt</b><br>The River Shihor is often identified with the easternmost branch of the Nile Delta or a river in the vicinity of Egypt's border. This reference marks the southern boundary of Israel's influence or territory at the time. It emphasizes the extent of David's kingdom and the inclusion of all Israelites, even those living on the fringes of the land, in this significant religious undertaking.<p><b>to Lebo-hamath</b><br>Lebo-hamath is located in the north, near the entrance to the region of Hamath. This geographical marker indicates the northern boundary of Israel's territory. By mentioning both Shihor and Lebo-hamath, the text underscores the comprehensive nature of the assembly, involving Israelites from the entire expanse of the land. It also reflects the fulfillment of God's promise to give Israel a land stretching from Egypt to the Euphrates (<a href="/genesis/15-18.htm">Genesis 15:18</a>).<p><b>to bring the ark of God</b><br>The Ark of the Covenant was the most sacred object in Israel, symbolizing God's presence and covenant with His people. David's desire to bring the Ark to a central location highlights his commitment to restoring proper worship and placing God at the center of national life. The Ark's movement signifies a new era under David's leadership, where the focus is on spiritual renewal and obedience to God's commands.<p><b>from Kiriath-jearim</b><br>Kiriath-jearim was the location where the Ark had been kept for many years after being returned by the Philistines (<a href="/1_samuel/7.htm">1 Samuel 7:1-2</a>). The Ark's stay in Kiriath-jearim represents a period of neglect in Israel's spiritual life. David's initiative to move the Ark from this location to Jerusalem marks a turning point, symbolizing a renewed dedication to God and the establishment of Jerusalem as the religious and political center of Israel.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>The second king of Israel, known for his heart for God and his leadership in uniting the tribes of Israel.

Hamath was one of the great cities of the Orontes valley, in Upper Syria, which formed the boundary in especial of the empire of Solomon. This valley is watered by the Orontes, the river of Antioch, a river remarkable for its abundant spring (situate immediately north of the source of the Leontes), which won for it the name, among all the other springs of Syria, of "The Spring," and remarkable for "the length of its course, the volume of its waters, and the rich vegetation of its banks." It is <span class="accented">the</span> one of the four rivers which take their rise beneath the heights of the Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon which becomes really worthy of the name of river, the other three, viz. the Jordan, the Leontes or modern <span class="accented">Litany</span> of Phoeicia, and the Abana or modern <span class="accented">Barada</span> of Damascus, more resembling the nature of the mountain stream. This river was to the ancient Romans "the representative of Syria, as the Timings might be said to be of England, and in later times the region formed the chief point of contact between this part of Asia and the West" (Stanley's 'Sinai and Palestine,' pp. 414, <span class="accented">e</span>,<span class="accented">f</span>, edit. 1866).
