He appointed before the ark, from among the Levites, servants to praise and celebrate God, i.e., singers and players to sing psalms as a part of the regular worship. להזכּיר, literally, "in order to bring into remembrance," is not to praise in general, but is to be interpreted according to the להזכּיר in the superscription of <a href="http://biblehub.com/psalms/38.htm">Psalm 38</a> and <a href="http://biblehub.com/psalms/70-1.htm">Psalm 70:1-5</a>, by which these psalms are designated as the appointed prayers at the presentation of the Azcarah of the meat-offering (<a href="/leviticus/2-2.htm">Leviticus 2:2</a>). הזכּיר accordingly is a denom. from אזכּרה, to present the Azcarah (cf. Del. on <a href="/psalms/38-1.htm">Psalm 38:1</a>), and is in our verse to be understood of the recital of these prayer-songs with musical accompaniment. הודות, to confess, refers to the psalms in which invocation and acknowledgment of the name of the Lord predominates, and הלּל to those in which praise (Hallelujah) is the prominent feature. In <a href="/1_chronicles/16-5.htm">1 Chronicles 16:5</a> and <a href="/1_chronicles/16-6.htm">1 Chronicles 16:6</a> there follow the names of the Levites appointed for this purpose, who have all been already mentioned in <a href="http://biblehub.com/1_chronicles/15-19.htm">1 Chronicles 15:19-21</a> as accompanying the ark in its transmission; but all who are there spoken of are not included in our list here. Of the chief singers only Asaph is mentioned, Heman and Ethan being omitted; of the singers and players of the second rank, only nine; six of the eight nebel-players (<a href="/1_chronicles/15-20.htm">1 Chronicles 15:20</a>. יעיאל is a transcriber's error for יעזיאל, <a href="/1_chronicles/15-18.htm">1 Chronicles 15:18</a>), and only three of the six kinnor-players; while instead of seven trumpet-blowing priests only two are named, viz., Benaiah, one of those seven, and Jehaziel, whose name does not occur in <a href="/1_chronicles/15-24.htm">1 Chronicles 15:24</a>. <div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/16-6.htm">1 Chronicles 16:6 Interlinear</a><br /><a href="/texts/1_chronicles/16-6.htm">1 Chronicles 16:6 Parallel Texts</a><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/niv/1_chronicles/16-6.htm">1 Chronicles 16:6 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/1_chronicles/16-6.htm">1 Chronicles 16:6 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/1_chronicles/16-6.htm">1 Chronicles 16:6 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/1_chronicles/16-6.htm">1 Chronicles 16:6 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/1_chronicles/16-6.htm">1 Chronicles 16:6 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="http://bibleapps.com/1_chronicles/16-6.htm">1 Chronicles 16:6 Bible Apps</a><br /><a href="/1_chronicles/16-6.htm">1 Chronicles 16:6 Parallel</a><br /><a href="http://bibliaparalela.com/1_chronicles/16-6.htm">1 Chronicles 16:6 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="http://holybible.com.cn/1_chronicles/16-6.htm">1 Chronicles 16:6 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="http://saintebible.com/1_chronicles/16-6.htm">1 Chronicles 16:6 French Bible</a><br /><a href="http://bibeltext.com/1_chronicles/16-6.htm">1 Chronicles 16:6 German Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/">Bible Hub</a><br /></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td align="center"><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="../1_chronicles/16-5.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="1 Chronicles 16:5"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="1 Chronicles 16:5" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="../1_chronicles/16-7.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="1 Chronicles 16:7"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="1 Chronicles 16:7" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div> <div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
