But the application of the terms to both in the same passage, which occurs nowhere in Scripture but here, is thought to indicate a time when a long servitude under despotic lords had orientalized mens mode of speech.<\/P> <\/p>\n 1Ch 29:20<\/span><\/p>\n Now bless the Lord your God.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n National and individual thanksgiving<\/strong><\/p>\n The duty of praise<\/strong><\/p>\n 1. <\/strong>It is acceptable to God Himself.<\/p>\n 2. <\/strong>It confers a blessing on him who renders it.<\/p>\n 3. <\/strong>It is the joyous occupation of the saints before the throne.<\/p>\n 1. <\/strong>Creation.<\/p>\n 2. <\/strong>Preservation.<\/p>\n 3. <\/strong>Redemption.<\/p>\n 4. <\/strong>The means of grace.<\/p>\n 5. <\/strong>The hope of glory.<\/p>\n 1. <\/strong>With our lips.<\/p>\n 2. <\/strong>In the life and conversation.

Worshipped the Lord, and the king.<\/B><\/I>] They did reverence to God as the supreme Ruler<\/I>, and to the king as his deputy<\/I>.<\/P> <\/p>\n The Lord with religious, and the king with civil worship, as it is evident. <\/P> <\/p>\n 20. all the congregation . . .worshipped the Lord, and the king<\/B>Though the external attitudemight be the same, the sentiments of which it was expressive werevery different in the two casesof divine worship in the one, ofcivil homage in the other.<\/P><\/p>\n And David said to all the congregation<\/strong>,…. Consisting of princes, captains, and officers, 1Ch 28:1<\/span><\/p>\n now bless the Lord your God<\/strong>; as he had done, for putting it into the power of their hands, and into their hearts, to do what they had:<\/p>\n and all the congregation blessed the Lord God of their fathers<\/strong>; some one as the mouth of the rest put up a thanksgiving to God, as David directed, to which they all assented, and in which they all joined:<\/p>\n and bowed down their heads, and worshipped the Lord and the king<\/strong>; the one with religious worship, the other with civil; the Syriac and Arabic versions more plainly distinguish, “they worshipped the Lord, and blessed David the king”; though some think Solomon, now made king, is meant.<\/p>\n Close of the public assembly<\/em>. – 1Ch 29:20<\/span>. At the conclusion of the prayer, David calls upon the whole assembly to praise God; which they do, bowing before God and the king, and worshipping. , connected as in Exo 4:31<\/span>; Gen 43:28<\/span>, etc. <\/p>\n 1Ch 29:21<\/span><\/p>\n <\/strong> To seal their confession, thus made in word and deed, the assembled dignitaries prepared a great sacrificial feast to the Lord on the following day. They sacrificed to the Lord sacrifices, viz., 1000 bullocks, 1000 rams, and 1000 lambs as burnt-offering, with drink-offerings to correspond, and sacrifices, i.e., thank-offerings ( ), in multitude for all Israel, i.e., so that all those present could take part in the sacrificial meal prepared from these sacrifices. While in the first clause is the general designation of the bloody offerings as distinguished from the meat-offerings, in the last clause it is restricted by the contrast with and the , from which joyous sacrificial meals were prepared. <\/p>\n 1Ch 29:22<\/span><\/p>\n <\/strong> On this day they made Solomon king a second time, anointing him king to the Lord, and Zadok to be priest, i.e., high priest. The refers back to 1Ch 23:1<\/span>, and the first anointing of Solomon narrated in 1Ki 1:32<\/span>. , not: before Jahve, which cannot signify, but: “to Jahve,” in accordance with His will expressed in His choice of Solomon (1Ch 28:4<\/span>). The before is nota accus <\/em>., as in . From the last words we learn that Zadok received the high-priesthood with the consent of the estates of the kingdom. <\/p>\n Assembly concluded, verses 20-21<\/strong><\/p>\n After David’s conclusion of his personal prayer and thanksgiving, <\/em>he called on all the assembly he had gathered to bless the Lord also. Again they responded heartily, bowing their heads in worship of the Lord and in reverence for the king.<\/em><\/p>\n The joining of the name of the king with that of the Lord in their worship by no means implies that they worshipped David in the same manner as they did the Lord, or even as did many in pagan nations toward their rulers. The people celebrated the occasion with three thousand sacrifices, a thousand each of bullocks, rams, and lambs for burnt offerings. It was a time of festivity, for the people were glad in the Lord.<\/p>\n (Author’s Note: <\/em>The remainder of First Chronicles, chapter 29, sums up the reign of David and places Solomon on the throne. Chronologically it is parallel with 1Kings chapters 1 and 2, and will be discussed in connection with those chapters below.)<\/em><\/p>\n (20) Now bless.<\/strong>Bless ye, I pray.<\/em> The now is not a note of time, but of entreaty.<\/p>\n Blessed the Lord God of their fathers.<\/strong>Probably using a liturgical formula, like the doxologies which close the books of the Psalter (Psa. 41:13<\/span>; Psa. 72:18-19<\/span>; Psa. 89:52<\/span>, &c).<\/p>\n And bowed down their heads.<\/strong>Or, and bowed.<\/em> Vulg., inclinaverunt se;<\/em> LXX. here, ,<\/em> bending the knees; but usually ,<\/em> stooping, bowing.<\/p>\n Worshipped.<\/strong>Prostrated themselves. LXX., .<\/em> The two expressions bowed and worshipped are always united, as here (save in 2Ch. 20:18<\/span>. Comp. Gen. 24:26<\/span>; Exo. 12:27<\/span>). The Syriac renders, fell down and worshipped.<\/p>\n And the king.<\/strong>As Gods earthly representative, David receives the same tokens of reverence and homage. (Comp. 1Ki. 1:31<\/span>.)<\/p>\n (20-25) The sacrificial feast and anointing of Solomon.<\/p>\n How beautifully the solemn service closed, All were called upon to bless the Lord in bowing heads, and suitable acknowledgments of the reverence becoming God’s presence. And their enjoyment at their tables, no doubt was all sanctified with reverence and praise.<\/p>\n 1Ch 29:20 And David said to all the congregation, Now bless the LORD your God. And all the congregation blessed the LORD God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads, and worshipped the LORD, and the king.<\/p>\n Ver. 20. Now bless the Lord your God.<\/strong> ] David was excellent at this, viz., stirring up others to join with him in praising God. See on Psa 34:3<\/span> ; Psa 103:20<\/span> . <\/p>\n <\/p>\n And worshipped the Lord.<\/strong> ] With a religious worship. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n And the king.<\/strong> ] With a civil reverence.<\/p>\n congregation = assembly. <\/p>\n worshipped = did homage to. Hebrew. shahah. First occurrence in Gen 18:2. <\/p>\n 1Ch 29:20-21<\/p>\n 1Ch 29:20-21<\/p>\n ALL THE PEOPLE BLESS GOD BY WORSHIPPING HIM<\/p>\n “And David said to all the assembly, Now bless Jehovah your God. And all the assembly blessed Jehovah, the God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads and worshipped Jehovah, and the king. And they sacrificed sacrifices unto Jehovah, and offered burnt-offerings unto Jehovah, on the morrow, after that day, even a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, with their drink-offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel, and did eat and drink before Jehovah on that day with great gladness.”<\/p>\n “And they bowed down their heads and worshipped Jehovah, and the king” (1Ch 29:20). The worship of any man is sinful, even the worship of a great king like David; and this verse should be translated as in the RSV, “All the assembly bowed their heads and worshipped the Lord, and did obeisance to the king.”<\/p>\n The reason that older translations are like our version (the ASV) here is that, “The word normally translated `worship’ in the O.T. means `to prostrate oneself’.” In those days, it was customary thus to honor kings; but in the N.T., Christians are forbidden to honor any man in such a manner. (See elaboration of this principle in my commentary on Revelation.)<\/p>\n E.M. Zerr:<\/p>\n 1Ch 29:20. Bless God means to adore him and to show it by the posture of the body; worship as used here means about the same. When one bows the head at the mention of a certain being, he is said to worship him. That is the sense in which the people worshiped the Lord and the king. <\/p>\n 1Ch 29:21. These sacrifices were voluntary offerings, prompted by the gratitude of the people for the favorable state of affairs, and the prospect of good things to come. A drink offering was an offering of wine, so called because it was the giving up of something that could have been used for a drink. <\/p>\n Now bless: 1Ch 16:36, 2Ch 20:21, Psa 134:2, Psa 135:19-21, Psa 145:1 – Psa 146:2, Psa 148:13, 14-150:6 <\/p>\n bowed down: Gen 24:26, Gen 24:48, Exo 4:31, Psa 29:1, Psa 29:2, Psa 95:6 <\/p>\n worshipped: Exo 14:31, 1Sa 12:18, Pro 24:21, 1Pe 2:17 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Gen 24:52 – worshipped Exo 12:27 – bowed Jos 22:33 – blessed 1Ki 1:48 – Blessed 1Ki 8:15 – Blessed 1Ch 29:10 – David blessed 2Ch 2:12 – Huram 2Ch 6:4 – Blessed 2Ch 6:14 – O Lord God 2Ch 7:3 – they bowed 2Ch 9:8 – Blessed 2Ch 29:29 – bowed themselves Neh 8:6 – blessed Neh 9:5 – bless Psa 34:3 – let us Psa 47:6 – to God Psa 72:18 – Blessed Psa 86:12 – praise Psa 96:2 – bless Psa 100:4 – be thankful Psa 105:1 – Give Pro 28:12 – righteous Eze 46:10 – General Dan 2:20 – Blessed Mal 3:4 – as Luk 1:68 – Blessed Eph 1:3 – Blessed Col 1:12 – Giving Jam 3:9 – bless 1Pe 1:3 – Blessed Rev 4:10 – worship<\/p>\n 1Ch 29:20. David said to all the congregation, Now bless the Lord your God Adore his divine majesty, and give him thanks for all his benefits, hereby testifying your concurrence with me in what I have done and spoken. And all the congregation blessed the Lord, &c. They did as David desired, bowing down their heads in a gesture of adoration. Whoever is the mouth of the congregation to God, only those have the benefit of his ministrations who join with him, not so much by bowing down the head, as by lifting up the heart. And worshipped the Lord, and the king The Lord with religious, and the king with civil worship.<\/p>\n 29:20 And David said to all the congregation, Now bless the LORD your God. And all the congregation blessed the LORD God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads, and worshipped the LORD, and the {l} king.<\/p>\n (l) That is, revered the king.<\/p>\n And David said to all the congregation, Now bless the LORD your God. And all the congregation blessed the LORD God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads, and worshiped the LORD, and the king. 20 22.
