INTRODUCTION TO 1 CHRONICLES 16 This chapter relates that David offered sacrifices when the ark was brought into his city, Ch1 16:1 who were the singers he appointed to sing before it continually, Ch1 16:4 and the song he that day composed and delivered to them to sing, Ch1 16:7 and that he appointed not only proper persons to minister before the ark, but also before the tabernacle at Gibeon, Ch1 16:37.

To offer burnt offerings unto the Lord,.... Which was the work of the priests only to do: upon the altar of burnt offering continually morning and evening; the lambs of the daily sacrifice, which were a burnt offering, and only to be offered on the brasen altar at the tabernacle: and to do according to all that is written in the law of the Lord, which he commanded Israel; with regard to them, and all other sacrifices, see Exo 29:38.

David brings the ark into its tent; and offers sacrifices, peace-offerings, and burnt-offerings, Ch1 16:1, Ch1 16:2; and gives portions to the people of Israel, Ch1 16:3. He appoints proper ministers and officers for the ark, Ch1 16:4-6. He delivers a solemn thanksgiving on the occasion, vv. 7-36. How the different officers served at the ark, Ch1 16:37-42. The people return home, Ch1 16:43.

Obed-edom with their brethren--Hosah, mentioned at the close of the verse, and a great number besides (see on Ch1 26:1). to be porters--doorkeepers.
