39<\/strong>. the tabernacle of the Lord in the high place that<\/em> was at Gibeon<\/em> ] See prefatory note to ch. 13.<\/p>\n Verse 39<\/span>. Zadok the priest<\/B><\/I>] Both Zadok and Abiathar were high priests at this time: the former David established at Gibeah<\/I>, or Gibeon, where the ark had been all the days of Saul; and the latter he established at Jerusalem, where the ark now was: so there were two high priests<\/I>, and two distinct services; but there was only one ark<\/I>. How long the service at Gibeon was continued we cannot tell; the principal functions were no doubt performed at Jerusalem.<\/P> <\/p>\n Zadok the priest; <\/B>not the high priest, but the second and the chief priest at Gibeon, where the famous tabernacle and altar made by Moses still were, 1Ch 21:29<\/span>; 2Ch 1:3<\/span>; where also the ordinary sacrifices were offered, and the stated and public worship of God was performed, as it here follows, for which the priests were placed there; as the extraordinary worship was before the ark upon great occasions, as when God was consulted, which was to be done before the ark and by the high priest, Exo 28:12<\/span>,20<\/span>,21<\/span>,22<\/span>, who now was Abiathar; who therefore abode here with the ark, when Zadok was left at Gibeon. <\/P> <\/p>\n 39, 40. And Zadok . . . before thetabernacle . . . at Gibeon<\/B>While the above-mentioned officersunder the superintendence of Abiathar, were appointed to officiate inJerusalem, whither the ark had been brought, Zadok and the priestssubordinate to him were stationed at Gibeon to perform the sacredservice before the ancient tabernacle which still remained there.<\/P><\/p>\n And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests<\/strong>,…. These he left, having appointed them<\/p>\n to be before the tabernacle of the Lord, in the high place that was at Gibeon<\/strong>; namely, the tabernacle of Moses, which was removed from Nob thither in the days of Saul, and continued there to the times of Solomon, 1Ch 21:28<\/span>.<\/p>\n 39<\/strong>. <\/strong> Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle at Gibeon <\/strong> The tabernacle had probably been removed to the high place at Gibeon soon after the slaughter of the priests at Nob, 1Sa 22:19<\/span>; and Zadok had, perhaps, been appointed high priest during the latter years of Saul’s reign. So David did not interfere with the worship at Gibeon, but left <\/em> (1Ch 16:37<\/span>) Zadok there to minister as high priest, and to carry on the regular tabernacle service and the offering of burnt offerings. At the same time, however, he provided for a regular service before the ark in the new tabernacle on Zion, and thus furnished a charge for Abiathar, his old friend, and faithful companion in the days of his exile. 1Sa 22:20-23<\/span>. Thus matters continued until the time of Solomon, who deposed Abiathar, (1Ki 2:26<\/span>,) and after the building of the temple transferred all the sanctuary service thither. 1Ki 8:4<\/span>. Comp. note on 2Sa 6:17<\/span>.<\/p>\n 1Ch 16:39<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>And Zadok the priest, and his brethren, <\/em><\/strong>&c.<\/strong> Zadok was the chief of the secondary priests, and ministered in the tabernacle of Moses then at Gibeon. Here the ordinary worship of God was performed, and the daily sacrifices offered on the altar made by Moses; but the extraordinary worship was performed before the ark at Jerusalem, where Abiathar the high priest attended. See Bishop Patrick. The words, and with them Heman and Jeduthun, <\/em>at the beginning of the 42nd verse, are omitted by the LXX. Instead of, cymbals for those that should make a sound, <\/em>in that verse, Houbigant reads, well-sounding cymbals. <\/em>See ch. 1Ch 15:19<\/span>. <\/p>\n REFLECTIONS.<\/strong>1st, The ark being safely lodged, great sacrifices were offered in honour to God; the people nobly feasted, and a constant course of Levites was now appointed to sing God’s praises, and to commemorate the mercies which they had received from him. Note; <\/em>(1.) Grateful praise is the most acceptable sacrifice. (2.) The hungry who wait upon God shall be filled with his good things. (3.) Our worship of God must be regular and constant: whatever engagements may call us off, we must never omit the daily work of prayer and praise. <\/p>\n 2nd, David’s psalm opens [1.] with thanksgiving. God’s people are bound (1.) to praise him. (2.) To call upon him in prayer, for the continuance of his mercies. (3.) To publish his glory to others. (4.) To rejoice in him; yea, to glory in his name, in his love, power, faithfulness, and mercy. [2.] It contains grateful memorials of God’s dealings, which deserve everlasting remembrance. (1.) The covenant established with their fathers, and fulfilled to them. (2.) The miraculous works and providential preservation for which they were indebted to him. (3.) The statutes and judgments of his revealed will, with which they were so peculiarly favoured. [3.] It proceeds to declare the transcendant excellency of Israel’s God. (1.) He, as the Creator, is alone deserving of worship, fear, and adoration. (2.) His perfections are great beyond compare, his strength almighty, his goodness unutterable, his glory surpasing, his dominion universal. (3.) He who is the universal governor, is also the universal judge; at whose bar the eternal state of man must be determined. [4.] In consequence of these views of God’s glory, and past experience of his mercy, the Psalmist closes his song of praise with the language of prayer. (1.) He begs salvation from every enemy. (2.) That God would gather together his people, now in the land of promise, and shortly in the regions of glory. (3.) Lastly, he declares, that the consequence of his continual grace will engage their everlasting praise. [5.] The people hereunto added their joyful amen, and praised the Lord: and so may every faithful soul, in every age and place, exalt God’s glory, grace, and faithfulness; and, as in duty bound, earnestly supplicate the continuance of the same blessings. 1Ch 16:39 And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that [was] at Gibeon,<\/p>\n Ver. 39. That was at Gibeon.<\/strong> ] For hither was the tabernacle brought, after that brutish slaughter of the priests by Saul at Nob. 1Sa 22:11-19 <\/p>\n the tabernacle. Hebrew. mishkan = dwelling-place. App-40. <\/p>\n 1Ch 16:39-43<\/p>\n 1Ch 16:39-43<\/p>\n TABERNACLE AND ARK; AT THIS TIME; SEPARATED<\/p>\n “And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of Jehovah in the high place that was at Gibeon, to offer burnt-offerings unto Jehovah upon the altar of burnt-offerings continually morning and evening, even according to all that is written in the law of Jehovah, which he commanded unto Israel; and with them Haman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were mentioned by name, to give thanks to Jehovah, because his lovingkindness endureth forever; and with the Haman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should sound aloud, and with instruments for the songs of God; and the sons of Jeduthun to be at the gate. And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.”<\/p>\n “It is here brought into prominence that the ark and the tabernacle were in two separate places. The great ordinary sacrifices, including the morning and evening sacrifices as commanded in Exo 38:2, were now resumed in the tabernacle, `according to all that is written in the law of the Lord.'”<\/p>\n The significance of what David accomplished here is great indeed; and the Chronicler has provided in 1 Chronicles 15, “An explanation of where the tabernacle had been after it was removed from Nob.”<\/p>\n “During the times of the Judges, the tabernacle had been at Shiloh (Jos 18:1); during the reign of Saul, it was at Nob (1 Samuel 21); and it was later at Gibeon (1Ch 16:39); and later Solomon laid it up in the temple (1Ki 8:4).”<\/p>\n Of course, the ark belonged in the tabernacle, in the Holy of Holies; and, although David was here unable to bring about the restoration of their true relation to each other, he did set in motion the events that would eventually lead to their being together when the temple was erected by Solomon to replace the tabernacle. The purpose of the Chronicler in what is written in these chapters is clear enough. He is telling us how the true worship of God eventually came to be reestablished according to God’s original instructions in the Pentateuch. This, of course, is precisely why radical critics pretend to find so much fault with Chronicles.<\/p>\n E.M. Zerr:<\/p>\n 1Ch 16:39-40. After the ark was captured by the Philistines, the tabernacle became reduced in its importance. It was not entirely abandoned, for Solomon went there to make his great sacrificial offerings. But it was located at Gibeon by some circumstance not revealed to us. The brazen altar was there, hence David made the appointment stated, for the priests to preside over the animal sacrifices offered at that place. The priests were normally the ones to have charge of that work. <\/p>\n 1Ch 16:41-42. The performance of animal sacrifices combined the activities of the priests and the ones making the offering. At the same time, David arranged for the other exercises to accompany the offerings. See the comments on this subject at 1Ch 15:19-22. Musical instruments of God is an inspired expression. David was never condemned, nor even criticized for making and using them. But it was a part of the procedure under the Old Testament regulations and has no bearing on the religious activities of the New Testament. The porters were gatekeepers or janitors. <\/p>\n 1Ch 16:43. The great service on occasion of installing the ark in its tent was ended. The assembly departed for their private homes, and David also returned to his home in Mount Zion. With the authority of a king and the effectiveness of an inspired man, he bestowed on his household his blessing.<\/p>\n Zadok: 1Ch 12:28 <\/p>\n before: 1Ch 21:29, 2Ch 1:3, 2Ch 1:4, 2Ch 1:13 <\/p>\n in the high: 1Ki 3:4 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Num 18:2 – but thou 1Sa 9:12 – the high place 1Ch 24:3 – Zadok 2Ch 7:6 – the priests Psa 43:3 – tabernacles Act 7:45 – Which<\/p>\n 1Ch 16:39.

3rdly, The ark being fixed at Jerusalem, and the Levites appointed to minister before it, David takes a little care of the tabernacle at Gibeon. There Zadok attended, with the priests and Levites, to offer the appointed sacrifices continually, while Abiathar probably abode at Jerusalem, to consult the Lord before the ark. The service of God being thus settled, the people departed with joy, and David went down to bless his house, to pray with them, and for them.
