testimony The word testimony is used for the ark, and for the law, written on tables of stone, put within the ark, and covered with the mercy seat. This testified the Lord's gracious presence with his people, and seemed to point out to them both the way of access and acceptance, and the standard or rule of their duty.

The children Some think this refers to a defeat of the Ephraimites mentioned in 1Chr 7:20-22; but it probably refers to the conduct and defeat of the ten tribes of which Ephraim was the head. Nothing is recorded in the history of Israel concerning the cowardice of the Ephraimites, as distinct from that of the other tribes. Some therefore think, "that the children of Ephraim" is put by a figure of speech for the nation in general. Deut 1:41-44; Josh 17:16-18; 1Sam 4:10, 1Sam 31:1
