The Clothing of the Priests and Levites
1 Chronicles 15:25-29
So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands…


After the journey had been accomplished, the bearers and those who had brought up the ark offered thank offerings of seven bullocks and seven rams - a perfect offering, denoted by the number seven. David and all the priests and Levites that accompanied the ark were clothed in white linen. The outer garments corresponded with the cleanness, the holiness, and the joy. So the white-robed multitude are represented as singing with palms in their hands, indicating the holiness and the joy, round the true Ark, the Lord Jesus Christ, in heaven. No wonder Michal should despise David. The heart of every one not experimentally acquainted with the Lord Jesus will always do the same. "The natural man understandeth not the things of the Spirit of God:... they are foolishness unto him." The Michal-heart is everywhere around us. Oh the joy of knowing Jesus! - W.
