John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Samuel 6:22

More vile than thus — The more we are vilified for well doing, the more resolute therein we should be, binding our religion the closer to us, for the endeavours of Satan's agents to shame us out of it. Be base — I will always be ready to abase myself before God, and think nothing to mean to stoop to for his honour. Be had in honour — So far will they be from despising me on this account, that they will honour me the more.
