13:4 The whole assembly agreed to do this, ¹  for the proposal seemed right to all the people. ² 

1 Chronicles 16:2

16:2 When David finished offering burnt sacrifices and peace offerings, he pronounced a blessing over the people in the Lord’s name.

1 Chronicles 16:43

16:43 Then all the people returned to their homes, and David went to pronounce a blessing on his family. ³ 

1 Chronicles 19:11

19:11 He put his brother Abishai in charge of the rest of the army and they were deployed against the Ammonites.

[13:4]  ¹ tn Heb “all the assembly said to do so.”

[13:4]  ² tn Heb “for right was the word in the eyes of all the people.”

[16:43]  ³ 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].”
