SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:37
¶ Y dejó allí, delante del arca del pacto del SEÑOR, a Asaf y a sus hermanos, para que ministrasen de continuo delante del arca, cada cosa en su día.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 37. So he left there, before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, Asaph and his brethren , etc.] Whom he, that is, David, had appointed for the service of it: to minister before the ark continually ; in singing the praises of God: as every day’s work required ; at the time of the morning and evening sacrifice, as Jarchi and Kimchi interpret it. Ver. 38 And Obededom, with their brethren, threescore and eight , etc.] The Levites, the brethren of Asaph and Obededom, these were left before the ark to minister there: Obededom also the son of Jeduthun ; or Ethan, which some take to be another Obededom; but the w , “vau” may be explanative, “even Obededom”: and Hosah to be porters ; these he left to be doorkeepers of the ark.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 37-43 - The worship of God ought to be the work of every day. David put it int order. At Jerusalem, where the ark was, Asaph and his brethren were to minister before the ark continually, with songs of praise. N sacrifices were offered there, nor incense burnt, because the altar were not there; but David's prayers were directed as incense, and the lifting up of his hands as the evening sacrifice. So early di spiritual worship take place of ceremonial. Yet the ceremonial worship being of Divine institution, must by no means be omitted; therefore a Gibeon, at the altars, the priests attended; for their work was to sacrifice and burn incense; and that they did continually, morning an evening, according to the law of Moses. As the ceremonies were types of the mediation of Christ, the observance of them was of grea consequence. The attendance of his appointed ministers is right in itself, and encourages the people __________________________________________________________________
