Commentary for II Samuel 6:2
וַיָּ֣קָם ׀ וַיֵּ֣לֶךְ דָּוִ֗ד וְכָל־הָעָם֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר אִתּ֔וֹ מִֽבַּעֲלֵ֖י יְהוּדָ֑ה לְהַעֲל֣וֹת מִשָּׁ֗ם אֵ֚ת אֲר֣וֹן הָאֱלֹהִ֔ים אֲשֶׁר־נִקְרָ֣א שֵׁ֗ם שֵׁ֣ם יְהוָ֧ה צְבָא֛וֹת יֹשֵׁ֥ב הַכְּרֻבִ֖ים עָלָֽיו׃
And David arose, and went with all the people that were with him, from Baale-judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, whereupon is called the Name, even the name of the LORD of hosts that sitteth upon the cherubim.
Rashi on II Samuel
From Baalei Yehuda. This is [the city of] Kiryas Yearim as it is said in Yehoshua, "and the boundary circled" and went up "to Baaloh, which is Kiryas Yearim" (Yehoshua 15:9). This also [can be found] in Divrei Hayomim, "Dovid and all Yisroel went up to Baaloh, which is Kiryas Yearim" (Divrei Hayomim I, 13:6). [The word] Baal means a plain.
