1 Chronicles 16:15

16:15 Remember ¹  continually his covenantal decree,

the promise he made ²  to a thousand generations –

1 Chronicles 7:29

7:29 On the border of Manasseh’s territory were Beth-Shean ³  and its surrounding towns, Taanach and its surrounding towns, Megiddo ⁴  and its surrounding towns, and Dor and its surrounding towns. The descendants of Joseph, Israel’s son, lived here.

[16:15]  ¹ 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”).

[16:15]  ² 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.

[7:29]  ³ tn “Beth Shean” is a variant spelling of “Beth Shan.”
