Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Samuel 6:21

_ _ Kirjath-jearim — “the city of woods,” also called Kirjath-baal (Joshua 15:60; Joshua 18:14; 1 Chronicles 13:6, 1 Chronicles 13:7). This was the nearest town to Beth-shemesh; and being a place of strength, it was a more fitting place for the residence of the ark. Beth-shemesh being in a low plain, and Kirjath-jearim on a hill, explains the message, “Come ye down, and fetch it up to you.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Samuel 6:19-21.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Samuel 6:21

Kirjath — jearim — Whither they sent, either because the place was not far off from them, and so it might soon be removed: or because it was a place of eminency and strength, and somewhat farther distant from the Philistines, where therefore it was likely to be better preserved from any new attempts of the Philistines, and to be better attended by the Israelites, who would more freely and frequently come to it at such a place, than in Beth — shemesh, which was upon the border of their enemies land.
