1 Chronicles 13:5

Ver. 5. So David gathered all Israel together,.... The principal of them, even 30,000 select men, 2Sa 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 Jer 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 1Sa 7:1, from hence to the end of the chapter the account is the same with 2Sa 6:1, see the notes there; what little variations there are, are there observed.
