1 Chronicles 15:25 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 15:25

So David and the elders of Israel, and the captains over
thousands
He and the principal men of the nation, and the officers of the army or militia:

went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the house
of Obededom with joy;
with all demonstrations of it; for which purpose such a band of music was prepared, as before described.

1 Chronicles 15:25 In-Context

23 Berekiah and Elkanah were chosen to guard the Ark.

24 Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah, and Eliezer—all of whom were priests—were chosen to blow the trumpets as they marched in front of the Ark of God. Obed-edom and Jehiah were chosen to guard the Ark.

25 Then David and the elders of Israel and the generals of the army went to the house of Obed-edom to bring the Ark of the LORD ’s Covenant up to Jerusalem with a great celebration.

26 And because God was clearly helping the Levites as they carried the Ark of the LORD ’s Covenant, they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.

27 David was dressed in a robe of fine linen, as were all the Levites who carried the Ark, and also the singers, and Kenaniah the choir leader. David was also wearing a priestly garment.
