How preachers through history handled this text
9 public-domain excerpts on 2 Samuel 6, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“David returned to bless his household, to pray with them, and for them, and to offer up family thanksgiving for this national mercy. It is angels' work to worship God, surely that cannot lower the greatest of men. But even the palaces of princes are not free from family troubles. Exercises of religion appear mean in the eyes of those who have little or no religion themselves. If we can approve ourselves to God in what we do in religion, and do it as before the Lord, we need not heed reproach. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on 2 Samuel 6:20–30 (Public Domain)
