24. the priests ] In Num 10:1-10 it is enjoined to make two silver trumpets to be blown by the priests on days of joy and on feast-days. This festal trumpet was different from the “cornet” (1Ch 15:28), properly a ram’s horn, which was freely used for secular purposes. See Driver, Amos, p. 144 ff. (with illustrations).

16-24. David spake to the chief ofthe Levites to appoint . . . the singers with instrumentsTheseeminent Levites were instructed to train the musicians and singerswho were under them, for the solemn procession. The performers wereranged in three choirs or bands, and the names of the principalleaders are given (1Ch 15:17;1Ch 15:18; 1Ch 15:21),with the instruments respectively used by each. “Ben” (1Ch15:18) is omitted (1Ch 15:20).Either it was used merely as a common noun, to intimate thatZechariah was the son of Jaaziel or Aziel, or Ben is the same asAzaziah [1Ch 15:21].

(24) Seven priestly trumpeters.
The priests, did blow with the trumpets.Were blowing. (Comp. Num. 10:2.) A pair of silver clarions were blown by the priests for the calling of the assembly, and the journeying of the camps. (See also 1Ch. 16:6.) The seven priests perhaps walked immediately before the Ark, as in Jos. 6:4.
of the Ark,
And Obed-edom and Jehiah were door-keepers for the ark.Comp. 1Ch. 15:23. It is hardly likely that these persons were identical with the minstrels Obed-edom and Jeiel of 1Ch. 15:18; 1Ch. 15:21, for (1) 1Ch. 15:19-24 appear to describe the order of the procession, according to which two doorkeepers walked before and two behind the ark (1Ch. 15:23-24), whereas Obed-edom and Jeiel the minstrels walked, playing their lutes, two places before even the first pair of doorkeepers (1Ch. 15:21); (2) the name Jeiel is different in form and meaning from Jehiah, Jah liveth; (3) the recurrence of names has been too frequent to allow us to be much surprised at a second Obed-edom. (Comp. 1Ch. 16:38.)
