1 Chronicles 16:15

_GIVE THANKS UNTO THE LORD, CALL UPON HIS NAME, MAKE KNOWN HIS DEEDS AMONG THE PEOPLE._ No JFB commentary on these verses....

7-36 Let God be glorified in our praises. Let others be edified and taught, that strangers to him may be led to adore him. Let us ourselves triumph and trust in God. Those that give glory to God's name are allowed to glory in it. Let the everlasting covenant be the great matter of our joy his people of old, be remembered by us with thankfulness to him. Show forth from day to day his salvation, his promised salvation by Christ. We have reason to celebrate that from day to day; for we daily receive the benefit, and it is a subject that can never be exhausted. In the midst of praises, we must not forget to pray for the servants of God in distress....

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 16:5 The occurrence of the name “Jeiel” twice in this list is considered suspicious. Hence, the first “Jeiel” is thought to be a corrupt reading for “Aziel” 1 Chronicles 15:20, or “Jaaziel” 1

EXPOSITION 1 CHRONICLES 16:1 These three verses rather belong to the close of the last chapter, and they carry on the parallel of 2 Samuel 6:1. in its 2 Samuel 6:17-10. 1 CHRONICLES 16:1 IN THE MIDST OF THE TENT THAT DAVID HAD PITCHED FOR IT. So 1 Chronicles 15:1 distinctly states that David had "pitched a tent" for the ark, and evidently to be ready for its arrival. On the other hand, there is no mention of any such tent having been

6. THE GREAT THANKSGIVING PSALM CHAPTER 16:4-43 _ 1. David's appointment (1 Chronicles 16:4)_ 2. The Psalm of praise and thanksgiving (1 Chronicles 16:7) 3. The Levites and the public worship (1 Chronicles 16:37) 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 is made up of portions of different Psalms. See Psalms 105:1;...

1 CHRONICLES 15:25 TO 1 CHRONICLES 16:3. See notes on 2 Samuel 6:12. 1 CHRONICLES 16:4. This appointment of Levites to serve before the Ark refers to the permanent arrangements as distinct from the temporary appointment of Levites to bring up the Ark to Jerusalem (1 Chronicles 15:17 ff.). 1 Chronicles 16:7. This psalm of thanksgiving and praise is, with only slight variations, a compi

DISCOURSE: 385 DAVID’S THANKSGIVING AT THE CARRYING UP OF THE ARK 1 Chronicles 16:7. _Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank the Lord into the hand of Asaph and his brethren. Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people. Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works. Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord. Seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually. Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth; O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones. He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the earth. Be ye mindful always of his covenant_.
