1 Chronicles 16
1. David's festival sacrifice
4. He orders a choir to sing thanksgiving
7. The psalm of thanksgiving
37. He appoints ministers, porters, priests, and musicians, to attend the ark














(21) This verse was originally the apodosis to 1Chronicles 16:19. as in Psalms 105 : "When they were but few . . . and went from nation to nation . . . he suffered no man," &c.

He suffered no man.--Heb., he permitted to no man, as in 2Samuel 16:11. Psalms 105 has the mere accusative, and a different word for "man" ('?d?m).
