with harps.The word {kinnor,} in Chaldee, {kinnora,} in Syraic, {kainoro,} in Arabic, {kinnarat,} and in Greek [

,] certainly denotes a harp, played on with the hand, according to 1 Sa 16:23.

The number of strings in the harp was at first three; but afterwards they were increased to four, and at last to seven.

• The great outpouring of joy and praise accompanying the ark's return could not take the place of obedience to the Word of God. The former was excellent, the latter both necessary and obligatory. David might have excused the manner in which he brought back the ark by the fact that the sons of Gershom and Merari also had wagons to transport the tabernacle through the wilderness, with the exception, of course, of the vessels of the sanctuary. And besides, God had not opposed the Philistines' method when they had returned the ark on a new cart. (“The Ark and the New Cart: 1 Chronicles 13” by H.L. Rossier)
