John Gill Commentary 1 Samuel 4:5

"And when the ark of the covenant of Jehovah came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth rang again." — 1 Samuel 4:5 (ASV)

And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord came into the
camp
Being brought thither by the men that carried it:

all Israel shouted with a great shout ,
so that the earth rang again; this they did as now sure of victory, because of the ark, and to give spirit and courage to each other to go forth to battle, and to strike a panic into their enemies.
