Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Chronicles 16:4-42

(4-42) THE INSTITUTION OF A MINISTRY FOR THE ARK. THE ODE SUNG ON THE DAY OF INSTITUTION.This entire section is peculiar to the Chronicle. 1 Chronicles 16:43 is almost identical with 2 Samuel 6:19-20. Compared, then, with the older text, this relation of the chronicler’s looks like a parenthesis interpolated from another source into the history, as narrated in 2 Samuel 6:12-20. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Chronicles 16:23-33

(23-33) See Psalms 96:0. This psalm, in the Psalter, consists of five strophes or stanzas of six lines each—an artistic arrangement which has been violated here. The subject is the extension of Jehovah’s kingdom over all the world, a thought familiar to the readers of the Book of Isaiah, where most of the ideas and phrases of the psalm may be found.(23) Sing unto the Lord, all the earth.—The second line of the psalm. The spirited opening of the psalm is purposely weakened, by omission of the... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - 1 Chronicles 16:1-43

The Psalm for the Day 1 Chronicles 16:7 I shall use this text illustratively, rather than literally and grammatically. There is a song in the heart of it; we are in quest of that song. The picture is full of colour, the picture is almost alive. Let us regard the incident as typical and ideal. I. In very truth there is a special psalm for every day in the week. We should expect the psalm as confidently as we expect the dawn. But who looks out for David with his psalms, for Asaph with his harp... read more

6. The Great Thanksgiving Psalm CHAPTER 16:4-43 1. David’s appointment (1 Chronicles 16:4-6 ) 2. The Psalm of praise and thanksgiving (1 Chronicles 16:7-36 ) 3. The Levites and the public worship (1 Chronicles 16:37-43 ) A great thanksgiving Psalm was then delivered by David into the hand of Asaph and his brethren. The view of modern critics, that this Psalm is post-exilic, does not call for any refutation, for the text declares that David himself delivered the hymn to Asaph. The Psalm... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 16:1-43

DAVID ’S REIGN THE DOWNFALL OF SAUL (1 Chronicles 10:0 ) In reading this chapter with whose general contents we became familiar in 1 Samuel 31:0 , it is important to note the inspired comment at its close (1 Chronicles 10:13-14 ). DAVID’S HEROES (1 Chronicles 11-12) In the history of David in this book, the writer dwells chiefly on its prosperous side, passing over the rest as lightly as possible. His anointing at Hebron (1 Chronicles 11:1-3 ) reveals nothing of what we learned earlier of... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 1 Chronicles 16:1-43

David's Thanksgiving 1 Chronicles 16:0 THROUGHOUT the Old Testament we are continually reminded of the conjunction of the Old and the New. This conjunction is set forth most distinctly in this verse. The ark of God represented that which was historical, and the tent which David had pitched for it represented the work of the current day. David did not make the ark; he only made the tent which it glorified. This indeed is all that we can do for any of the great revelations of God at this late... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Chronicles 16:8-36

The scope of this psalm, taken altogether, is to celebrate the praises of Jehovah, and especially in his covenant love to his redeemed. Hence he is to be praised for the glories of his own name, for his mercies in creation, in redemption, in providence, and in grace. These glorious acts of the Lord are to be proclaimed throughout the earth that the whole heathen world may rejoice: and surely they will rejoice that seek the Lord. Then comes in the praises of his name for his covenant-love and... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Chronicles 16:7-36

7-36 Let God be glorified in our praises. Let others be edified and taught, that strangers to him may be led to adore him. Let us ourselves triumph and trust in God. Those that give glory to God's name are allowed to glory in it. Let the everlasting covenant be the great matter of our joy his people of old, be remembered by us with thankfulness to him. Show forth from day to day his salvation, his promised salvation by Christ. We have reason to celebrate that from day to day; for we daily... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 1 Chronicles 16:7-36

David's Psalm of Praise v. 7. Then, on that day, David delivered first this psalm, to thank the Lord, into the hand of Asaph and his brethren, for use in the public worship at the Tabernacle (the hymn, as here recorded, is almost identical with Psalms 96; Cf also Psalms 105:1-Ezra :; Psalms 106:47-Galatians :): v. 8. Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon His name, in acknowledgment of His Godhead, make known His deeds among the people. v. 9. Sing unto Him, sing psalms unto Him, talk ye of... read more
