Verses 7-43

5. David"s concern for the universal worship of Yahweh16:7-43

This hymn ( 1 Chronicles 16:8-36) was probably one of many that the people sang on this occasion. It expressed the hopes and thoughts of the Israelites assembled that the returned exiles needed to emulate. This thanksgiving song is a medley of several psalms ( Psalm 96:1-13; Psalm 105:1-15; Psalm 106:1; Psalm 106:47-48). It stresses that the intended result of Israel"s worship was the salvation of the nations so that they, too, might come and worship Yahweh (cf. Exodus 19:5-6; Isaiah 42:6; Zechariah 2:10-11).

The hymn began with a call to worship that embraced the nations ( 1 Chronicles 16:8-13; cf. Isaiah 12:4). Then the people extolled God"s greatness and glory ( 1 Chronicles 16:14-22). They stressed God"s unmerited favor toward Israel"s patriarchs in this section. Another call to worship ( 1 Chronicles 16:23-24) led to another section of praise that emphasizes Yahweh"s superiority over the nations" gods ( 1 Chronicles 16:25-26) and His creative power ( 1 Chronicles 16:27-30). The final part of the hymn called on all people to turn to Yahweh in trust and obedience in view of His coming to judge and save ( 1 Chronicles 16:31-36). Throughout this hymn the emphasis rests on God"s deeds, God"s words, God"s greatness, and God"s worth.

David let the sanctuary remain at Gibeon and provided for worship and sacrifice to continue there ( 1 Chronicles 16:39-40). He appointed Zadok as the priest in charge of that tabernacle. Throughout Israel"s history, the ark was a symbol of God"s grace and the altar was a symbol of human response to that grace. Normally they were together, but in Saul"s day they were separate. [Note: See Wilcock, p73.] The ark was in Philistia, Bethshemesh, or Kiriath-jearim, and the tabernacle was at Shiloh or Gibeon.

Chapters13-16 help the reader focus on the presence of God as what is essential, rather than on ritual that, though important, is only a means to an end. Worship is appropriate in view of who God Isaiah, but for worship to be acceptable, God"s people must worship Him as He has prescribed. Furthermore, worship must be God-centered rather than Prayer of Manasseh -centered.
