The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 16:8-36
These verses, then, provide the form of praise which David wished to be used on this, and probably in grateful repetition on some succeeding occasions. David makes selections from four psalms already known; for it cannot be supposed that the verses we have hero were the original, and that they were afterwards supplemented. The first fifteen verses (viz. 8-22) are from Psalms 105:1-15 . The next eleven verses (23-33) are from Psalms 96:1-13 ; but a small portion of the first and last of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 16:14-22
These verses rehearse the ancient and blissful covenant which had made Israel so to differ. These are called mine anointed… my prophets , in harmony with what we read in the splendid passage, Exodus 19:3-6 . The substitution in our Exodus 19:15 , Exodus 19:19 of the second person pronoun plural, in place of the third person of the psalm, helps speak the reality of this occasion and its dramatic correctness. The literal original of our Authorized Version in Exodus 19:19 , but few,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 16:23-36
The grandeur and unusual comprehensiveness of the adoration and homage here proclaimed, as to be offered to the omnipotent Ruler of all nations, should be well pondered. Our eye and ear may have become too familiar with it, but when put a little into relief, and referred to its original time of day, it is fit to be ranked among the strongest moral evidences of inspiration in the word and the speaker. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 16:34-36
These verses, from the first, forty-seventh, and forty-eighth of Psalms 106:1-48 , must have suggested the sad intermediate contents of that psalm, the significant key-note of which is sounded in our thirty-fifth verse. The suggestion in the midst of the unbounded gladness of this day is affecting, and must have been intended for salutary lesson and timely warning. In the midst of the fulness of praise and joy, the people are led to prayer—say ye—and the prayer is an humble petition for... read more

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. The language of much of the passage is remarkably archaic, and there can be no reasonable doubt that it is in the main an extract from a record of the time of David.1 Chronicles 16:5The occurrence of the name “Jeiel” twice in this... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Chronicles 16:7
1 Chronicles 16:7. Then David delivered first this psalm, &c. Or, as Houbigant renders it, On that same day David delivered this psalm, that Asaph and his brethren might praise the Lord by it That is, on the day in which David appointed the Levites to sing before God, he gave them the song or hymn which follows. There is, however, nothing in the Hebrew for psalm. And the translation of the LXX. is perfectly accurate, save that they have rendered נתן , he gave, by εταξε , he... read more
