1 Chronicles 16:37

David Appoints Worship Leaders

16:37 David ²  left Asaph and his colleagues there before the ark of the Lord’s covenant to serve before the ark regularly and fulfill each day’s requirements, ³ 

[25:9]  ¹ tc Heb “The first lot went to Asaph, to Joseph.” Apparently the recurring formula, “and his sons and his relatives, twelve” has been accidentally omitted from the Hebrew text at this point (see vv. 10-31; the formula is slightly different in v. 9b). If the number “twelve” is not supplied here, the total comes to only 276, not the 288 required by v. 7.

[16:37]  ² tn Heb “he”; the referent (David) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:37]  ³ tn Heb “according to the matter of the day in its day.”
