1 Samuel 6:14
A great stone - (Compare Genesis 28:18; Judges 13:19). This great stone was probably used as an altar on this occasion, and the kine stopping at it of their own accord was understood by the Bethshemites as an intimation that they were to offer sacrifices on it to the Lord God of Israel, who had so wonderfully brought back the ark from its captivity.
And they clave the wood of the cart ... - A similar expedient was resorted to by Araunah II Samuel 24:22, and by Elisha I Kings 19:21.
