Compared, then, with the older text, this relation of the chronicler's looks like a parenthesis interpolated from another source into the history, as narrated in 2Samuel 6:12-20. (4) And he appointed certain of the Levites.--Literally, put, placed (Genesis 3:12). To minister.--Literally, ministering--i.e., as ministers. The object of the appointment is defined by the words which follow: "both to remind, and to thank, and to praise Jehovah, the God of Israel." Each verb expresses a distinct kind of duty in the service of song. . . . Verses 4-7. - These verses contain a statement of the arrangement David made of a more permanent nature, but to date from this commencement, for the service of thanksgiving by the Levites. Verse 4. - To minister; i.e. to officiate, as we should say, in the service before the ark. The verse seems to describe what should be the essence of that service. It was threefold - to record, to thank, and to praise the Lord God of Israel. The word here used for "record" is the Hiph. of זָכַר (to remember), and is remarked upon by Gesenius as a title strictly appropriate to the character of the two psalms Psalms 38 and Psalms 70, on the head of which it stands, as meaning, "to make others remember" (see also such passages as Exodus 20:24; 2 Samuel 8:16; 2 Samuel 18:18; 2 Samuel 20:24; Isaiah 43:26; Isaiah 63:7). The minds of the people were to be refreshed in this service and in their very psalm of praise (so note in this sense vers. 8, 9, 12, 21, etc.), by being reminded or told, so far as the youngest of them might be concerned, of God's marvellous and merciful deeds for their forefathers of many, many a generation. Then they were to give intelligent and hearty thanks. And, lastly, they were to offer to approach that purest form of worship which consists in adoring praise. One might imagine with what zest they would have accepted, with what fervour they would have added lip and instrument of music to it - that one verse which needed the revolution yet of nearly another three thousand years, that it might flow from the devotion or' Addison."When all thy mercies, O my God, Hebrew David appointedוַיִּתֵּ֞ן (way·yit·tên) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular Strong's 5414: To give, put, set some of מִן־ (min-) Preposition Strong's 4480: A part of, from, out of the Levites הַלְוִיִּ֖ם (hal·wî·yim) Article | Noun - proper - masculine plural Strong's 3881: Levites -- descendant of Levi to minister מְשָׁרְתִ֑ים (mə·šā·rə·ṯîm) Verb - Piel - Participle - masculine plural Strong's 8334: To attend as a, menial, worshipper, to contribute to before לִפְנֵ֨י (lip̄·nê) Preposition-l | Noun - common plural construct Strong's 6440: The face the ark אֲר֧וֹן (’ă·rō·wn) Noun - common singular construct Strong's 727: A chest, ark of the LORD, יְהוָ֛ה (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular Strong's 3068: LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel to celebrate, וּלְהַזְכִּיר֙ (ū·lə·haz·kîr) Conjunctive waw, Preposition-l | Verb - Hifil - Infinitive construct Strong's 2142: To mark, to remember, to mention, to be male to give thanks, וּלְהוֹד֣וֹת (ū·lə·hō·w·ḏō·wṯ) Conjunctive waw, Preposition-l | Verb - Hifil - Infinitive construct Strong's 3034: To throw, at, away, to revere, worship, to bemoan and to praise וּלְהַלֵּ֔ל (ū·lə·hal·lêl) Conjunctive waw, Preposition-l | Verb - Piel - Infinitive construct Strong's 1984: To shine the LORD, לַיהוָ֖ה (Yah·weh) Preposition-l | Noun - proper - masculine singular Strong's 3068: LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel the God אֱלֹהֵ֥י (’ĕ·lō·hê) Noun - masculine plural construct Strong's 430: gods -- the supreme God, magistrates, a superlative of Israel. יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ (yiś·rā·’êl) Noun - proper - masculine singular Strong's 3478: Israel -- 'God strives', another name of Jacob and his desc Links 1 Chronicles 16:4 NIV1 Chronicles 16:4 NLT 1 Chronicles 16:4 ESV 1 Chronicles 16:4 NASB 1 Chronicles 16:4 KJV 1 Chronicles 16:4 BibleApps.com 1 Chronicles 16:4 Biblia Paralela 1 Chronicles 16:4 Chinese Bible 1 Chronicles 16:4 French Bible 1 Chronicles 16:4 Catholic Bible OT History: 1 Chronicles 16:4 He appointed certain of the Levites (1 Chron. 1Ch iCh i Ch 1 chr 1chr) |
