Introduction
This chapter continues and concludes the account of the removal of the ark to Zion. 1 Chronicles 16:1-3; 1 Chronicles 16:43 are identical with 2 Samuel 6:17-19, where see notes. The passage from 1 Chronicles 16:4 to 1 Chronicles 16:42 is added by the chronicler, and “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.” Rawlinson.
