Yet it is dangerous even to minimise the sense of duty. A man who makes no terms with conscience, but does what God commands, will find his love grow stronger. A Christians sense of duty is not the same as the sense of duty of one who has no faith. Natural religion would teach a man to be honest, sober, and industrious, but Christs teaching goes far beyond this. Religious duties; purity of heart; forgiveness of others, etc<\/em>. But it is in the realm of supernatural help, prayer, and the sacraments that the greatest divergence is seen. As the duty of every day required. Words such as these suggest that unless we are living a life of prayer, unless we are partaking of the life of Christ in the means He left for us to use, we are undutiful. What we claim for our religion is this–<\/p>\n 1. <\/strong>The personal love of Christ will make us more severe with ourselves in performing hard, unwelcome duties of every day.<\/p>\n 2. <\/strong>It will also claim from us earnest prayer, belief in the grace of the Holy Spirit, etc<\/em>.

And they departed not from the commandment of the king unto the priests and Levites concerning any matter, or concerning the treasure.”<\/p>\n David’s commandments regarding the duties of the priests and the Levites, in many particulars, were derived from instructions in the Pentateuch, but that does not apply to his innovative introduction of all kinds of mechanical instruments of music.<\/p>\n E.M. Zerr:<\/p>\n 2Ch 8:14. After the various activities connected with the dedication had been ended, Solomon put the regular services in their proper order again. The courses or turns of the priests had been arranged by David (1Ch 24:1-19), and Solomon observed the arrangement respectfully. The porters were janitors or gatekeepers, and they also served by courses or turns. <\/p>\n 2Ch 8:15. Priests and Levites are mentioned as separate groups. That is because all priests were of the tribe of Levi, while not all Levites could be priests; only the family of Aaron had that right. <\/p>\n the courses: 2Ch 5:11, 2Ch 23:4, 2Ch 31:2, 1Ch 24:1-19, Luk 1:5, Luk 1:8 <\/p>\n the Levites: 2Ch 35:10, 1Ch 6:31, 1Ch 6:32-48, 1Ch 15:16-22, 1Ch 16:4-6, 1Ch 16:42, 1Ch 23:1-32, 1Ch 24:20-31, 1Ch 25:1-31, Ezr 6:18 <\/p>\n the porters: 1Ch 9:17, 1Ch 26:1-19 <\/p>\n so had David the man of God commanded: Heb. so was the commandment of David the man of God, Deu 33:1, 2Sa 23:2, 1Ki 13:1, 1Ch 28:19, Act 13:22, Act 13:36 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: 2Ki 22:4 – the keepers 1Ch 16:37 – as every 1Ch 23:5 – porters 1Ch 23:6 – divided 1Ch 26:17 – Eastward 2Ch 11:2 – the man 2Ch 29:25 – according 2Ch 34:13 – porters 2Ch 35:4 – and according Neh 12:24 – the man Neh 12:36 – musical instruments Isa 62:6 – set watchmen Jer 35:4 – a man 1Ti 6:11 – O man 2Pe 1:21 – in old time<\/p>\n And he appointed, according to the order of David his father, the courses of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their charges, to praise and minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required: the porters also by their courses at every gate: for so had David the man of … Continue reading “Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 2 Chronicles 8:14”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11372","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-commentary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11372","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11372"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11372\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11372"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11372"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/bible-commentary\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11372"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Fuente: The Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n
