1 Crônicas 16

Clarke writes that "in prayer (amen) signifies let it be so, make it steady, let it be ratified." Zodhiates says In the OT used often at the end of a sentence as an adverb meaning truly, surely, certainly. It thus confirms the preceding words and invokes their fulfillment: “so be it,” 1 Chronicles 16:37 So he left Asaph and his relatives there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD to minister before the ark continually, as every day's work required; before the ark (KJV): 1Ch 16:4-6 15:17-24 25:1-6 as every (KJV): 2Ch 8:14 Ezr 3:4 So he left Asaph and his relatives there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD to minister before the ark continually, as every day's work required; BSB - (vv. 37-39) Apparently the tabernacle constructed during the time of Moses was disassembled at this time, the ark being removed to Jerusalem by David (13:1-16:36; 2 Sam. 6:1-23), and the altar with its vessels (Ex. 25:23-40; 37:10-28; 40:22-27) being left at Gibeon (1Chr 21:29; 1Ki 3:4; cf. 1Ki 3:15; 2 Chr. 1:13). According to 2Sa 15:24-29, 35, 36, David appointed Abiathar and Zadok (1Chr 15:11) co-high priests. Zadok was to minister in Gibeon, and Abiathar in Jerusalem. Asaph was in charge of the Levites appointed to minister before the ark of the Lord in Jerusalem (1Chr 16:5, 6). GIBEON - gib'-e-un (gibh`on): One of the royal cities of the Hivites (Josh 9:7). It was a greater city than Ai; and its inhabitants were reputed mighty men (Josh 10:2). It fell within the territory allotted to Benjamin (Josh 18:25), and was one of the cities given to the Levites (Josh 21:17). Assigned to the Aaronites, Josh. 21:17. The tabernacle located at, 1Ki 3:4; 1Chr 16:39; 21:29; 2Chr. 1:2, 3, 13. Its distance from Jerusalem by the main road is about 6 1/2 miles; but there is a more direct road reducing it to five miles. 1 Chronicles 16:38 and Obed-edom with his 68 relatives; Obed-edom, also the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah as gatekeepers. Obededom (KJV): 1Ch 13:14 26:4-8 Jeduthun (KJV): 1Ch 25:3 THE BLESSING OF OBED-EDOM and Obed-edom with his 68 relatives; Obed-edom, also the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah as gatekeepers. 1 Chronicles 16:39 He left Zadok the priest and his relatives the priests before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place which was at Gibeon, Zadok (KJV): 1Ch 12:28 before (KJV): 1Ch 21:29 2Ch 1:3,4,13 in the high (KJV): 1Ki 3:4 He left Zadok the priest and his relatives the priests before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place which was at Gibeon, 1 Chronicles 16:40 to offer burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of burnt offering continually morning and evening, even according to all that is written in the law of the LORD, which He commanded Israel. To offer (KJV): Ex 29:38-42 Nu 28:3-8 1Ki 18:29 2Ch 2:4 31:3 Ezr 3:3 Eze 46:13-15 Da 9:21 Am 4:4 morning and evening (KJV): Heb. in the morning and in the evening to offer burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of burnt offering continually morning and evening, even according to all that is written in the law of the LORD, which He commanded Israel. 1 Chronicles 16:41 With them were Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest who were chosen, who were designated by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because His lovingkindness is everlasting. Heman (KJV): 1Ch 16:37 6:39-47 25:1-6 expressed (KJV): 1Ch 12:31 Nu 1:17 Ezr 8:20 to give (KJV): 1Ch 16:34 2Ch 5:13 7:3 20:21 Ezr 3:11 Ps 103:17 Jer 33:11 Lu 1:50 THANK THE LORD FOR HIS EVERLASTING LOVINGKINDNESS With them were Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest who were chosen, who were designated by name, to give thanks (yadah ;Lxx - aineo) to the LORD, because His lovingkindness is everlasting. Lovingkindness (02617) hesed/chesed/heced is the idea of faithful love in action and often in the OT refers to God's lovingkindness expressed in His covenant relationship with Israel (His "loyal love" to His "Wife" Israel [cp Hos 2:18, 19, 20+, Is 54:5, Je 31:32+] = His "loyalty to covenant"). God's hesed His denotes persistent and unconditional tenderness, kindness, and mercy, a relationship in which He seeks after man with love and mercy (cp God immediately seeking man Ge 3:9+, who was immediately hiding Ge 3:8+ trying to cover their shame Ge 3:7 - contrast God's lovingkindness manifest by spilling blood to provide skins to cover their shame! Ge 3:21+). In general, one may identify three basic meanings of hesed, and these 3 meanings always interact -- strength, steadfastness, and love. Any understanding of hesed that fails to suggest all three inevitably loses some of its richness. Love by itself easily becomes sentimentalized or universalized apart from the covenant. Yet strength or steadfastness suggests only the fulfillment of a legal (or similar) obligation. 1 Chronicles 16:42 And with them were Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those who should sound aloud, and with instruments for the songs of God, and the sons of Jeduthun for the gate. trumpets (KJV): 2Ch 29:25-28 Ps 150:3-6 musical instruments (KJV): 1Ch 25:6 Ps 84:10 porters (KJV): Heb. for the gate And with them were Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those who should sound aloud, and with instruments for the songs of God, and the sons of Jeduthun for the gate. 1 Chronicles 16:43 Then all the people departed each to his house, and David returned to bless his household. all the people: 2Sa 6:19-20 1Ki 8:66 to bless: Ge 18:19 Jos 24:15 Ps 101:2 Related Passages: 2 Samuel 6:19+ Further, he distributed to all the people, to all the multitude of Israel, both to men and women, a cake of bread and one of dates and one of raisins to each one. Then all the people departed each to his house. A DEPARTURE AND A DISAPPOINTMENT Then all the people departed each to his house, and David returned to bless (barak; Lxx - eulogeo) his household - Sadly he was in for a shock for 2Sa 6:20+ records "But when David returned to bless his household, Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David and said, “How the king of Israel distinguished himself today! He uncovered himself today in the eyes of his servants’ maids as one of the foolish ones shamelessly uncovers himself!”
