It was one of the cities designated for the priests, which is significant given the context of the Ark of the Covenant's return. The name "Joshua" here is not the famous leader who succeeded Moses, but likely a common name of the time. The arrival of the cart signifies the end of the Philistines' possession of the Ark, which they had captured in battle. This event fulfills the Philistines' plan to test whether the plagues they experienced were indeed from the God of Israel. The Ark's return to a Levitical city underscores the importance of proper worship and reverence for God's presence.<p><b>and stopped there near a large rock</b><br>The large rock served as a natural altar or platform, which was significant for the subsequent offering. In ancient times, rocks and altars were often used for sacrifices and offerings, symbolizing stability and permanence. The stopping of the cart at this specific location can be seen as divinely orchestrated, indicating God's control over the situation. This rock would later serve as a memorial of God's intervention and the return of the Ark.<p><b>The people chopped up the cart</b><br>The dismantling of the cart for use as firewood for the offering demonstrates the people's immediate response to honor God. It reflects the principle of using available resources to worship God, showing their gratitude and reverence. This act also signifies the end of the cart's purpose, as it was merely a vehicle for the Ark's return and not sacred in itself.<p><b>and offered the cows as a burnt offering to the LORD</b><br>Offering the cows as a burnt offering was a significant act of worship and atonement. Burnt offerings were entirely consumed by fire, symbolizing complete dedication to God. The use of cows, which were unblemished and had never been yoked, aligns with the requirements for sacrificial animals in the Mosaic Law. This act of sacrifice highlights the people's recognition of God's holiness and their desire to atone for any offenses related to the Ark's capture and return. It also prefigures the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who offered Himself wholly for the atonement of sin.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/joshua_of_beth-shemesh.htm">Joshua of Beth-shemesh</a></b><br>A resident of Beth-shemesh, a Levitical city in the territory of Judah.

The presence of Levites, among whom were doubtless priests, is natural. These were, of course, the principal men of the city and its suburbs, and they were familiar with all sacrificial rites prescribed by the Law. The offering of these sacrifices at Beth-shemesh, although the Tabernacle never had been stationed there, was no transgression against the law, for now the Ark of the Covenant was present, the occasional throne of the glory-presence of the Eternal, before which the sacrifices were really offered.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/1_samuel/6.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 14.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Stood there, where there was a great stone.</span> Probably a mass of natural rock rising through the soil.
