This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The Ministers of the Sanctuary Appointed
v. 37. So he left there before the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord, in the Tabernacle at Jerusalem, Asaph and his brethren to minister before the ark continually, as every day's work required, according to the arrangement which David made about the services;
v. 38. and Obededom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obed-edom also, the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah to be porters, keepers of the door, in charge of the proper opening and closing;
v. 39. and Zadok, the priest, and his brethren, the priests, before the Tabernacle of the Lord in the high place that was at Gibeon, which remained a sanctuary until the time of Solomon,
v. 40. to offer burnt offerings unto the Lord upon the altar of the burnt offering, which remained at Gibeon, continually morning and evening, as the Law required, and to do according to all that is written in the Law of the Lord which He commanded Israel, Numbers 28;
v. 41. and with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were expressed by name, 1Ch_15:17-21, to give thanks to the Lord, because His mercy endureth forever;
v. 42. and with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should make a sound, that is, for loud sounding, to give signals that might be heard even at a distance, and with musical instruments of God. And the sons of Jeduthun were porters, they were appointed to guard the entrance of the Tabernacle at Gibeon.
v. 43. And all the people, the festival being ended, departed, every man to his house. And David returned to bless his house, as he had before blessed the assembled congregation in the name of Jehovah. By means of this carefully ordered division of the work the services of the Lord were always edifying and interesting -a fine example to the believers of the New Testament as well.
