Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerses 37-43. - These verses give the now new-ordained distribution of priests and Levites, to minister and to attend to the service of praise before the ark. And the first of them may be considered to mark an important step in advance in the crystallizing of the world's ecclesiastical institutions. Asaph and his brethren of song are left there before the ark of the covenant... to minister before the ark continually, as every day's work required. A permanent local ministry and choir are thus established, with a fixity of place on Zion, and regularity of time that had been hitherto unattainable.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(37-42) Resumption and conclusion of the narrative suspended at 1Chronicles 16:7.(37) So (and) he left there.--Were the above ode interposed by the chronicler himself, he might better have written, "And David left."As every day's work required.--Literally, for a day's business in its own day--i.e., to perform the services appointed for each day. (Comp. Exodus 5:13.)(38) And Obed-edom with (and) their brethren.--The pronoun their shows that a word or words have fallen out. It is simplest to supply "Hosah," and render: And (he left there) Obed-edom and Hosah and their brethren, sixty-eight persons. The construction, however, is altered from that of 1Chronicles 16:37 : "Asaph and his brethren." (Comp. 1Chronicles 16:39.) . . .
