Haydock's commentary

Lord, who always presided over such assemblies. This was convened to elect a king, whom God pointed out by lots. Some assert that the ark, and the high priest, in his pontifical ornaments, were present. (Calmet)

Adrichomius says Maspha was only three hours' walk from Cariathiarim. (Menochius)
