2 Samuel 6:13

And it was [so], that when they that bare the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, he sacrificed oxen and fatlings.

Ver. 13. Had gone six paces.] Gravi et decenti incessu, in a grave and decent equipage, and had felt by comfortable experience that God helped them to bear the ark, 1Ch 15:16 - supporting it haply together with them by a divine power invisibly, so that it seemed light unto them. David thereupon took order to have sacrifices offered in the place, for the better carrying on of the good work in hand.
