1 Chronicles 15 & 16


The singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were to sound bronze cymbals; (1 Chronicles 15:19, ESV)

According to Henry Morris these three musicians are probably the same men whose names appear in the superscripts of some of the Psalms.  Heman - (Ps 88), Asaph - (Ps 50),  (78-83), and Ethan - (Ps 89)

******
Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank the LORD into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.—1Chronicles 16:7

Verse 7 tells us David delivered a psalm of thanksgiving into the hand of Asaph on the day when he and all of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord from the house of Obedom to the place David had prepared and pitched a tent

“[T]his psalm” (see 1Chronicles 16:8-36) can be found repeated in various portions throughout the Book of Psalms.

First Chronicles 16:8-22 is repeated in Psalm 105:1-15; 1 Chronicles 16:23-33 is also found in Psalm 96:1-13 and 1 Chronicles 16:34-36 is included in Psalm 106:1, 47-48.

Also the first of 42 mentions of one of my favorite truths in the Bible occurs for the first time in the OT here. “His mercy endures forever”.  ❤️
