John Gill Commentary 2 Samuel 6:4

"And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was in the hill, with the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark." — 2 Samuel 6:4 (ASV)

And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which [was]
at Gibeah
That is, the new cart, which is the last thing spoken of, (2 Samuel 6:3); and the bringing of the ark out of his house is mentioned before; though some take this to be the coffer in which were the presents of the Philistines, which was now brought out along with the ark, see (1 Samuel 6:8);

accompanying the ark of God ;
or "with the ark of God" ^F6 ; that is, they brought the new cart "from" the house of Abinadab on the hill, with the ark of God upon it:

and Ahio went before the ark ;
guiding the oxen that drew it, and Uzzah might go behind, or on one side, to take care that the ark fell not out of it.
