Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

1 Chronicles 13:7

Abridged form of the fuller text preserved in 2 Samuel 6:3 (see Notes there).

Drave. — Were driving. 2 Samuel 6:4, is wholly omitted by the Chronicles. “Ahio” may mean his brother, or, with different points, his brothers (so LXX. and Syriac).
