1 Chronicles 13:1

Uzzah Meets Disaster

13:1 David consulted with his military officers, including those who led groups of a thousand and those who led groups of a hundred. 1 

1 Chronicles 16:15

16:15 Remember 2  continually his covenantal decree,

the promise he made 3  to a thousand generations –

1 tn Heb “and David consulted with the officers of thousands and hundreds, to every ruler.”

2 tn The Hebrew text has a masculine plural imperative, addressed to the people. Some LXX mss harmonize the wording here to Ps 105:8, which has זָכַר (zakhar), the perfect third masculine singular form of the verb, “He (the Lord) remembers” (so NIV; NEB reads “He called to mind his covenant”).

3 tn Heb “[the] word he commanded.” The text refers here to God’s unconditional covenantal promise to Abraham and the patriarchs, as vv. 16-18 make clear.
