What Does 1 Chronicles 6:31 Mean?
A new section opens. When the ark of the covenant was at last brought to Jerusalem and given rest, David established Levites to lead the song in the house of the LORD. Worship in music became a settled, ordered ministry.
The coming of God's presence to rest among His people called forth sustained praise. Worship is the fitting response to the nearness of God. Where the Lord makes His dwelling, there hearts are stirred to sing -- a foretaste of the unending praise around His throne.
