Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
14:1-7 Even though the Ark was not present in Jerusalem (13:1-14), God blessed David’s palace, his children, and his conquest of the Philistines. God’s blessing did not depend on the presence of the Ark. These blessings eventually encouraged David to carry out his original plan to bring the Ark into Jerusalem (15:1-29). 14:1-2 Hiram’s generosity provided further evidence of God’s purpose in making David king.
