1 Chron 16:1–43 The brief account in 2 Sam. 6:17–20 of the ark’s arrival in Jerusalem and the festivities is greatly expanded here.
1 Chron 16:4–7 David establishes a daily worship ministry by the Levites before the ark (vv. 6, 37), held at that time in Gibeon (vv. 39–42). Their task is to invoke, to thank, and to praise the Lord. It is a description of worship through prayer and songs, like those collected in Psalms.
1 Chron 16:8–36 This psalm of praise is drawn from Ps. 105:1–15; 96:1–13;; 106:1; 47–48. The Chronicler has carefully woven them together and changed them slightly.
1 Chron 16:8–22 The charge to seek the Lord . . . continually (v. 11) is a common theme for the writer (see 22:19a). The repeated instruction to Israel to remember God’s miracles, and his promises of the land and protection to Abraham and Israel (16:18–22), would encourage the small, vulnerable postexilic community (see Nehemiah 4; 6).
1 Chron 16:35–36 This request for deliverance and salvation from among the nations is the high point of the psalm (vv. 8–36). Here, it speaks more to the Chronicler’s generation than to David’s. It expresses a longing for the restoration and consolidation of a scattered people.
1 Chron 16:37–43 Besides ministering before the ark, the Levites are also appointed to assist at the tabernacle at Gibeon by offering praise at the times of sacrifice. Solomon will move the tabernacle into the temple at the time of its dedication (2 Chron. 5:5).
