1. 2 Samuel 6:14–15 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

Is there anything significant about the sound of the horn ("trumpets," NIV)?

2 Samuel 6:14–15 (ESV)

14 And David danced before the LORD with all his might. And David was wearing a linen ephod.

Horns (trumpets) give the idea that the procession of the ark is associated with the enthronement of the Lord in Jerusalem.1 Trumpets were typically blown to signal the arrival of a king.
