1 Chron 15:1–29 The relatively brief account of the second mission to bring the ark to Jerusalem (see 2 Sam. 6:12–19) has been expanded here. David appoints the Levites as the leaders of music and worship.
1 Chron 15:1–3 The tent is not the Mosaic “tent of meeting,” which was in Gibeon at the time (16:39). Instead it was a temporary lodging for the ark (see 17:1). Levites. See Deut. 10:8; 18:5.
1 Chron 15:4–10 The three main divisions of the Levites (Kohath, Merari, Gershom) are named. The Kohathites were responsible for carrying the ark (see Num. 7:9). The final three groups mentioned (1 Chron. 15:8–10) are also Kohathite families (see 6:18).
1 Chron 15:11–15 “Seeking” God according to the rule is not legalism. It shows great regard for the word of the Lord and offers a safeguard against the kind of disaster that occurred in Perez-uzza (v. 13; see 13:5–11).
1 Chron 15:16 The Levites begin, under David, a new ministry of music and praise in the presence of the ark. On the significance of their ministry for Israel, see 16:4–7 and note.
1 Chron 15:17–24 Obed-edom (vv. 18, 24) may have been included among the Levitical gatekeepers because of his care for the ark, despite his probable Philistine origin (see note on 13:13–14). The postexilic Israelites had a much stricter policy concerning genealogical descent (see Ezra 2:61–63).
1 Chron 15:25–29 This section supplements 2 Sam. 6:12–16 (which focuses on David) to emphasize the participation of all Israel. Details about the Levites and God’s help for them are added (1 Chron. 15:26–28). On David’s wife Michal, see note on 2 Sam. 6:16–19.
