For the first; the Ark is oftentimes called the Glory of God; Psal. 78. 61. He gave his strength into Captivity, and his Glory into the hand of his enemies. Where he speaks of the surprisal of the Ark by the Philistines; which when it was accomplished, Phinehas his wife called her son Ichabod, and said the Glory is departed. 1 Sam. 4. 21.

2. The word which we have rendered a defence properly signifies a covering; as was the mercy seat, the covering of the Ark. So that upon the Glory shall be a defence, is as much as unto you, the mercy seat shall be on the Ark, or you shall have the mercy represented and intimated thereby▪
2. The Tabernacle and cloud, or pillar of fire, are also called to mind; so the words are expressive, of that figure of Gods gracious presence with his people, which we have recounted, Exod. 40. 34. Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the Glory of the Lord filled the Tabernacle. So it continued, the Glory of God was in the tabernacle, and the cloud upon it, or over it; as the word here is; and so upon all the glory there was a defence.
