6. These may be the "words of David" and his pious friends, who,
at Ephratah--or Beth-lehem
(Ge 48:7),
where he once lived, may have heard of the ark, which he found for the
first time
in the fields of the wood--or, Jair, or Kirjath-jearim
("City of woods")
(1Sa 7:1;
2Sa 6:3, 4),
whence it was brought to Zion.
