David, having settled the courses of these Levites that were to attend
|
|
the priests in their ministrations, proceeds, in this chapter, to put
|
|
those into a method that were appointed to be singers and musicians in
|
|
the temple. Here is,
|
|
|
|
I. The persons that were to be employed, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=1Ch+25:1">ver. 1</A>),
|
|
|

their sons

|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=1Ch+25:2-6">ver. 2-6</A>),

and other skilful persons,

<FONT SIZE=+1>1 Moreover David and the captains of the host separated to the
|
|
service of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who
|
|
should prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals:
|
|
and the number of the workmen according to their service was:
|
|
2 Of the sons of Asaph; Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and
|
|
Asarelah, the sons of Asaph under the hands of Asaph, which
|
|
prophesied according to the order of the king.
|
|
3 Of Jeduthun: the sons of Jeduthun; Gedaliah, and Zeri, and
|
|
Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the hands of
|
|
their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp, to give thanks
|
|
and to praise the L<FONT SIZE=-1><B>ORD</B></FONT>.
|
|
4 Of Heman: the sons of Heman; Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel,
|
|
Shebuel, and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and
|
|
Romamti-ezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, <I>and</I> Mahazioth:
|
|
5 All these <I>were</I> the sons of Heman the king's seer in the
|
|
words of God, to lift up the horn. And God gave to Heman fourteen
|
|
sons and three daughters.
|
|
6 All these <I>were</I> under the hands of their father for song
|
|
<I>in</I> the house of the L<FONT SIZE=-1><B>ORD</B></FONT>, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps,
|
|
for the service of the house of God, according to the king's
|
|
order to Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman.
|
|
7 So the number of them, with their brethren that were
|
|
instructed in the songs of the L<FONT SIZE=-1><B>ORD</B></FONT>, <I>even</I> all that were
|
|
cunning, was two hundred fourscore and eight.

<P>

|
Observe,
|
|
|
|
I. Singing the praises of God is here called <I>prophesying</I>
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=1Ch+25:1-3"><I>v.</I> 1-3</A>),
|
|
|
|
not that all those who were employed in this service were honoured with
|
|
the visions of God, or could foretel things to come. Heman indeed is
|
|
said to be the <I>king's seer in the words of God</I>
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=1Ch+25:5"><I>v.</I> 5</A>);
|
|
|
|
but the psalms they sang were composed by the prophets, and many of
|
|
them were prophetical; and the edification of the church was intended
|
|
in it, as well as the glory of God. In Samuel's time singing the
|
|
praises of God went by the name of <I>prophesying</I>
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=1Sa+10:5,19:20">1 Sam. x. 5; xix. 20</A>),
|
|
|
|
and perhaps that is intended in what St. Paul calls <I>prophesying,</I>
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=1Co+11:4,14:24">1 Cor. xi. 4; xiv. 24</A>.</P>

II. This is here called a <I>service,</I> and the persons employed in
|
|
it <I>workmen,</I>
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=1Ch+25:1"><I>v.</I> 1</A>.
|
|
|
|
Not but that it is the greatest liberty and pleasure to be employed in
|
|
praising God: what is heaven but that? But it intimates that it is our
|
|
duty to make a business of it, and stir up all that is within us to it;
|
|
and that, in our present state of corruption and infirmity, it will not
|
|
be done as it should be done without labour and struggle. We must take
|
|
pains with our hearts to bring them, and keep them, to this work, and
|
|
to engage all that is within us.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
III. Here were, in compliance with the temper of that dispensation, a
|
|
great variety of musical instruments used, <I>harps, psalteries,
|
|
cymbals</I>
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=1Ch+25:1,6"><I>v.</I> 1, 6</A>),
|
|
|
|
and here was one that <I>lifted up the horn</I>
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=1Ch+25:5"><I>v.</I> 5</A>),
|
|
|
|
that is, used wind-music. The bringing of such concerts of music into
|
|
the worship of God now is what none pretend to. But those who use such
|
|
concerts for their own entertainment should feel themselves obliged to
|
|
preserve them always free from any thing that savours of immorality or
|
|
profaneness, by this consideration, that time was when they were
|
|
sacred; and then <I>those</I> were justly condemned who brought them
|
|
into common use,
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Am+6:5">Amos vi. 5</A>.
|
|
|
|
<I>They invented to themselves instruments of music like David.</I></P>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
IV. The glory and honour of God were principally intended in all this
|
|
temple-music, whether vocal or instrumental. It was <I>to give thanks,
|
|
and praise the Lord,</I> that the singers were employed,
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=1Ch+25:3"><I>v.</I> 3</A>.
|
|
|
|
It was <I>in the songs of the Lord that they were instructed</I>
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=1Ch+25:7"><I>v.</I> 7</A>),
|
|
|
|
that is, <I>for songs in the house of the Lord,</I>
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=1Ch+25:6"><I>v.</I> 6</A>.
|
|
|
|
This agrees with the intention of the perpetuating of psalmody in the
|
|
gospel-church, which is <I>to make melody with the heart,</I> in
|
|
conjunction with the voice, <I>unto the Lord,</I>
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=Eph+5:19">Eph. v. 19</A>.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
V. The order of the king is likewise taken notice of,
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=1Ch+25:2"><I>v.</I> 2</A>
|
|
|
|
and again
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=1Ch+25:6"><I>v.</I> 6</A>.
|
|
|
|
In those matters indeed David acted as a prophet; but his taking care
|
|
for the due and regular observance of divine institutions, both ancient
|
|
and modern, is an example to all in authority to use their power for
|
|
the promoting of religion, and the enforcing of the laws of Christ. Let
|
|
them thus be <I>ministers of God for good.</I></P>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
VI. The fathers presided in this service, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=1Ch+25:1"><I>v.</I> 1</A>),
|
|
|
|
and the children were <I>under the hands of their father,</I>
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=1Ch+25:2,3,6"><I>v.</I> 2, 3, 6</A>.
|
|
|
|
This gives a good example to parents to train up their children, and
|
|
indeed to all seniors to instruct their juniors in the service of God,
|
|
and particularly in praising him, than which there is no part of our
|
|
work more necessary or more worthy to be transmitted to the succeeding
|
|
generations. It gives also an example to the younger to <I>submit
|
|
themselves to the elder</I> (whose experience and observation fit them
|
|
for direction), and, as far as may be, to do what they do <I>under
|
|
their hand.</I> It is probable that Heman, Asaph, and Jeduthun, were
|
|
bred up under Samuel, and had their education in the schools of the
|
|
prophets which he was the founder and president of; then they were
|
|
pupils, now they came to be masters. Those that would be eminent must
|
|
begin early, and take time to prepare themselves. This good work of
|
|
singing God's praises Samuel revived, and set on foot, but lived not to
|
|
see it brought to the perfection it appears in here. Solomon perfects
|
|
what David began, so David perfects what Samuel began. Let all, in
|
|
their day, do what they can for God and his church, though they cannot
|
|
carry it so far as they would; when they are gone God can out of stones
|
|
raise up others who shall build upon their foundation and bring forth
|
|
the top-stone.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
VII. There were others also, besides the sons of these three great men,
|
|
who are called their <I>brethren</I> (probably because they had been
|
|
wont to join with them in their private concerts), who were
|
|
<I>instructed in the songs of the Lord,</I> and were cunning or well
|
|
skilled therein,
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=1Ch+25:7"><I>v.</I> 7</A>.
|
|
|
|
They were all Levites and were in number 288. Now,
|
|
|
|
1. These were a good number, and a competent number to keep up the
|
|
service in the house of God; for they were all skilful in the work to
|
|
which they were called. When David the king was so much addicted to
|
|
divine poesy and music many others, all that had a genius for it,
|
|
applied their studies and endeavours that way. Those do religion a
|
|
great deal of good service that bring the exercises of devotion into
|
|
reputation.
|
|
|
|
2. Yet these were but a small number in comparison with the 4000 whom
|
|
David appointed thus to <I>praise the Lord,</I>
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=1Ch+23:5"><I>ch.</I> xxiii. 5</A>.
|
|
|
|
Where were all the rest when only 288, and those but by twelve in a
|
|
course, were separated to this service? It is probable that all the
|
|
rest were divided into as many courses, and were to follow as these
|
|
led. Or, perhaps, these were <I>for songs in the house of the Lord</I>
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=1Ch+25:6"><I>v.</I> 6</A>),
|
|
|
|
with whom any that worshipped in the courts of that house might join;
|
|
and the rest were disposed of, all the kingdom over, to preside in the
|
|
country congregations, in this good work: for, though the sacrifices
|
|
instituted by the hand of Moses might be offered but at one place, the
|
|
psalms penned by David might be sung every where,
|
|

Twenty-four persons are named in the beginning of this chapter as sons
|
|
of those three great men, Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun. Ethan was the
|
|
third
|
|

|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=1Ch+6:44"><I>ch.</I> vi. 44</A>),
|
|
|
|
but probably he was dead before the establishment was perfected and
|
|
Jeduthun came in his room. [Or perhaps Ethan and Jeduthun were two
|
|
names for the same person.] Of these three Providence so ordered it
|
|
that Asaph had four sons, Jeduthun six [only five are mentioned
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=1Ch+25:3"><I>v.</I> 3</A>;
|

Shimei, mentioned

is supposed to have been the sixth], and Heman fourteen, in all
|
|
twenty-four (who were named,

|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=1Ch+25:2-4"><I>v.</I> 2-4</A>),
|
|
|
|
who were all qualified for the service and called to it. But the
|
|
question was, In what order must they serve? This was determined by
|
|
lot, to prevent strife for precedency, a sin which most easily besets
|
|
many that otherwise are good people.</P>

I. The lot was thrown impartially. They were placed in twenty-four
|
|
companies, twelve in a company, in two rows, twelve companies in a row,
|
|
and so they cast lots, <I>ward against ward,</I> putting them all upon
|
|
a level, small and great, teacher and scholar. They did not go
|
|
according to their age, or according to their standing, or the degrees
|
|
they had taken in the music-schools; but it was referred to God,
|
|

Small and great, teachers and scholars, stand alike before God, who
|
|
goes not according to our rules of distinction and precedency. See

II. God determined it as he pleased, taking account, it is probable, of
|
|
the respective merits of the persons, which are of much more importance
|
|
than seniority of age or priority of birth. Let us compare them with
|
|
the preceding catalogue and we shall find that,
|
|
|
|
1. Josephus was the second son of Asaph.
|
|
|
|
2. Gedaliah the eldest son of Jeduthun.
|
|
|
|
3. Zaccur the eldest of Asaph.
|
|
|
|
4. Izri the second of Jeduthun.
|
|
|
|
5. Nethaniah the third of Asaph.
|
|
|
|
6. Bukkiah the eldest of Heman.
|
|
|
|
7. Jesharelah the youngest of Asaph.
|
|
|
|
8. Jeshaiah the third of Jeduthun.
|
|
|
|
9. Mattaniah the second of Heman.
|
|
|
|
10. Shimei the youngest of Jeduthun.
|
|
|
|
11. Azareel the third of Heman.
|
|
|
|
12. Hashabiah the fourth of Jeduthun.
|
|
|
|
13. Shubael the fourth of Heman.
|
|
|
|
14. Mattithiah the fifth of Jeduthun.
|
|
|
|
15. Jeremoth the fifth of Heman.
|
|
|
|
16. Hananiah the sixth of Heman.
|
|
|
|
17. Joshbekashah the eleventh of Heman.
|
|
|
|
18. Hanani the seventh of Heman.
|
|
|
|
19. Mallothi the twelfth of Heman.
|
|
|
|
20. Eliathah the eighth of Heman.
|
|
|
|
21. Hothir the thirteenth of Heman.
|
|
|
|
22. Giddalti the ninth of Heman.
|
|
|
|
23. Mehazioth the fourteenth of Heman. And, <I>lastly,</I>
|
|
Romamti-ezer, the tenth of Heman. See how God increased some and
|
|
preferred the younger before the elder.</P>

III. Each of these had in his chorus the number of twelve, called
|
|
<I>their sons and their brethren,</I> because they observed them as
|
|
sons, and concurred with them as brethren. Probably twelve, some for
|
|
the voice and others for the instrument, made up the concert. Let us
|
|
learn with one mind and one mouth to glorify God, and that will be the
|
|
best concert.</P>
