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

16:43 And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to {t} bless his house.(t) Declaring that after our duty to God we are chiefly bound to our own house, for which as for all other things we should pray to God, and instruct our families to praise his Name. 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

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 16:41-43

The whole forms a most delightful representation of the services of the old church. And as all the services were with an eye to Christ, we never can sufficiently admire the grace of the Holy Ghost in the appointment. Think, Reader, of what vast, what infinite importance, is the redemption by Jesus in the eyes of Jehovah; when the mere shadow and type of it was so regularly observed, in daily services, through to many intermediate generations, from the fall of man to the coming of Christ? read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Chronicles 16:43

REFLECTIONS PAUSE, my soul, over the perusal of this chapter, and behold the earnestness with which David entered upon the service of the sanctuary, when the Lord had blessed him and the people once more with the symbol of his divine presence. Observe with what holy joy he celebrates God's praises. How often he repeats in song the glories of the Lord, and the wonders of his grace. And how earnest he is that all the people should partake in the mercies of Jehovah. And when thou hast paid all due... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Chronicles 16:37-43

37-43 The worship of God ought to be the work of every day. David put it into order. At Jerusalem, where the ark was, Asaph and his brethren were to minister before the ark continually, with songs of praise. No sacrifices were offered there, nor incense burnt, because the altars were not there; but David's prayers were directed as incense, and the lifting up of his hands as the evening sacrifice. So early did spiritual worship take place of ceremonial. Yet the ceremonial worship, being of... read more

The Ministers of the Sanctuary Appointed v. 37. So he left there before the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord, in the Tabernacle at Jerusalem, Asaph and his brethren to minister before the ark continually, as every day's work required, according to the arrangement which David made about the services; v. 38. and Obededom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obed-edom also, the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah to be porters, keepers of the door, in charge of the proper opening and closing; v.... read more
