1 Chronicles 16:34
Compare all
32 Let the sea roar, and all its fullness;
Let the field rejoice, and all that is in it.
33 Then the atrees of the woods shall rejoice before the Lord,
For He is bcoming to judge the earth. 
34 aOh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever. 
35 aAnd say, “Save us, O God of our salvation;
Gather us together, and deliver us from the Gentiles,
To give thanks to Your holy name,
To triumph in Your praise.” 
36 aBlessed be the Lord God of Israel
From everlasting to everlasting! And all bthe people said, “Amen!” and praised the Lord.  

Regular Worship Maintained

37 So he left aAsaph and his brothers there before the ark of the covenant of the Lord to minister before the ark regularly, as every day’s work brequired;  
38 and aObed-Edom with his sixty-eight brethren, including Obed-Edom the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah, to be gatekeepers;  
39 and Zadok the priest and his brethren the priests, abefore the tabernacle of the Lord bat the high place that was at Gibeon,  
40 to offer burnt offerings to the Lord on the altar of burnt offering regularly amorning and evening, and to do according to all that is written in the Law of the Lord which He commanded Israel;  
41 and with them Heman and Jeduthun and the rest who were chosen, who were designated by name, to give thanks to the Lord, abecause His mercy endures forever;  
42 and with them Heman and Jeduthun, to sound aloud with trumpets and cymbals and the musical instruments of God. Now the sons of Jeduthun were gatekeepers.
43 aThen all the people departed, every man to his house; and David returned to bless his house.

I & II Chronicles

THE FIRST AND SECOND BOOKS OF CHRONICLES were also considered as one by the ancient Jews, who called them "words of days," that is, diaries or journals, being probably compiled from those registers that were kept by the king's historiographers of passing occurrences. In the Septuagint the title given them is Paraleipomenon, "of things omitted," that is, the books are supplementary because many things unnoticed in the former books are here recorded; and not only the omissions are supplied, but some narratives extended while others are added. The authorship is commonly ascribed to Ezra, whose leading object seems to have been to show the division of families, possessions, etc., before the captivity, with a view to the exact restoration of the same order after the return from Babylon. Although many things are restated and others are exact repetitions of what is contained in Kings, there is so much new and important information that, as JEROME has well said, the Chronicles furnish the means of comprehending parts of the New Testament, which must have been unintelligible without them. They are frequently referred to by Christ and the Apostles as forming part of "the Word of God" (see the genealogies in Mat. 1:1-16; Luk. 3:23-38; compare II Chronicles 19:7 with I Peter 1:17; II Chronicles 24:19-21 with Matthew 23:32-35).
