This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





Unto the Lord; to appear before the Lord. So he speaks, either,



1. Because the ark was carried thither upon this occasion. Or,



2. Because God is present in all the assemblies of his people, whereof this was an eminent one: see 2Ch_19:6 Psa_82:1. Or,



3. Because they did in a manner erect a tribunal for God; and entreated, and consequently obtained, his presence there to supervise and direct the whole business by his sentence, which also he did, 1Sa_10:19, &c. See of this phrase Jud_11:11 20:1.



To Mizpeh; a city of Benjamin, Jos_13:26, where all Israel had met before upon a public and solemn occasion, 1Sa_7:5.
