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;

1 Chronicles 16:39

Zadok the priest - Both Zadok and Abiathar were high priests at this time: the former David established at Gibeah, or Gibeon, where the ark had been all the days of Saul; and the latter he established at Jerusalem, where the ark now was: so there were two high priests, and two distinct services; but there was only one ark. How long the service at Gibeon was continued we cannot tell; the principal functions were no doubt performed at Jerusalem.
