Homiletic Commentary Nehemiah 12:24 And the chief of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brothers over against them… A man's influence after he is dead. He is still present with his people. I. BY HIS WILL. "The commandment of David." The grip of the dead is on our fields and churches, our schools and hospitals. II. BY HIS WRITINGS. Immortality of genius. David's psalms. Solomon's proverbs. The writings of Shakespeare, Milton, Bunyan, and many others. III. BY HIS EXAMPLE. "David the man of God." For good or evil a man lives. For good or evil his deeds will live after him. "The memory of the just is blessed." (Homiletic Commentary.) Parallel Verses KJV: And the chief of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren over against them, to praise and to give thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of God, ward over against ward. |
