1 Chronicles 16:15

Context

16:15 Remember² continually his covenantal decree,

the promise he made³ to a thousand generations –

[13:1] ¹tn Heb “and David consulted with the officers of thousands and hundreds, to every ruler.”

[16:15] ²tn 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”).

[16:15] ³tn 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.
