1 Chronicles 16:3

_AND HE DEALT TO EVERY ONE OF ISRAEL, BOTH MAN AND WOMAN, TO EVERY ONE A LOAF OF BREAD, AND A GOOD PIECE OF FLESH, AND A FLAGON OF WINE._ Flagon of wine. The two latter words are a supplement by our translators, and the former is, in other versions, rendered not a "flagon," but a 'cake'-a confection, as the Septuagint renders it-made of flour and honey (see the note at 2 Samuel 6:19)....

1-6 Though God's word and ordinances may be clouded and eclipsed for a time, they shall shine out of obscurity.

David showed himself generous to his subjects, as he had found God gracious to him. Those whose hearts are enlarged with holy joy, should show it by being open-handed....

Verse 1 Chronicles 16:3. _TO EVERY ONE A LOAF OF BREAD_] A whole cake. _A good_ _piece of flesh_; "the sixth part of an ox, and the sixth part of a hin of wine." - _T_. See 2 Samuel 6:18-10; see _Jarchi_ also....

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

LESSON SEVEN 15-16 THE ARK OF THE COVENANT BROUGHT TO JERUSALEM DAVID'S SONG OF THANKSGIVING THE MINISTERS AND WORSHIP 8. BRINGING THE ARK TO JERUSALEM (15-16) INTRODUCTION The completion of the movement of the ark to Jerusalem is accomplished at this time. David's concern for worship is underscored in his appointment of Levitical ministers and his composition of a beautiful hymn of thanksgiving. TEXT 1 Chronicles 15:1. And David made him houses in the city of David; and he prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent. 2.

And David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of Jehovah unto its place, which he had prepared for it. 4. And David
