What Does 1 Chronicles 16:39 Mean?
The chronicler turns to the tabernacle at Gibeon, where the older tent of meeting still stood. There Zadok and his fellow priests are appointed to serve before the LORD.
While the ark now rested in Jerusalem, worship also continued faithfully at Gibeon, the appointed priesthood serving in both places. God's people took care that His worship be carried out according to His order, in its proper place and by those He had called. Such attentiveness honors the truth that worship is not careless but reverent, offered in the way and by the hands God has appointed.
