Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 16:4-42

This passage is interposed by the writer of Chronicles between two sentences of the parallel passage in Samuel. It contains a detailed account of the service which David instituted at this time, a service out of which grew the more elaborate service of the temple.

this psalm. Supply the Ellipsis thus: "Delivered first [the following words] to thank", &c. Other Psalms were Proverbs 5:11 ; Pro 5:68 . Originally provided for this event, Psalms 68:0 was afterward divided up and incorporated in Psalms 105:1-15 ; Psalms 96:1-13 ; Psalms 106:1 , Psalms 106:47 , Psalms 106:48 . Exactly the same has been done since then by many human authors. It is those who say they "treat the Bible like any other book" who deny to the Divine Author this right to do as He... read more

(KJV)We have, in this one verse, returned to the rendition in the Authorized Version, as that version seems better to convey the real meaning.Barker gave the meaning of this verse as follows:"On that day did David first commit to the hand of Asaph and his brethren to render praises to Jehovah; after the following manner and words.
