1 Chronicles 16:3

16:3 He then handed out to each Israelite man and woman a loaf of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake.

1 Chronicles 16:43

16:43 Then all the people returned to their homes, and David went to pronounce a blessing on his family. ¹ 

1 Chronicles 21:14

21:14 So the Lord sent a plague through Israel, and 70,000 Israelite men died.

¹ tn Heb “to bless his house.” Elsewhere when “house” is the object of “bless,” it refers to a household or family. See, for example, 1 Chr 13:14; 17:27. However, since בֵּית (bet, “house”) refers to a literal house or home earlier in the verse and to David’s palace in 17:1, one might translate here, “David went to pronounce a blessing on [i.e., dedicate] his house [i.e., palace].”
