Definitions for 1-samuel 6:6
Clarke's 1-samuel 6:6 Bible Commentary
Wherefore then do ye harden your hearts - They had heard how God punished the Egyptians, and they are afraid of similar plagues. It appears that they had kept the ark long enough.
Did they not let the people go - And has he not wrought wonderfully among us? And should we not send back his ark?
Wesley's 1-samuel 6:6 Bible Commentary
6:6 Wherefore, &c. - They express themselves thus, either because some opposed the sending home the ark, though most had consented to it; or because they thought they would hardly send it away in the manner prescribed, by giving glory to God, and taking shame to themselves.
