Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 36. - The musical instruments of David. Cymbals, psalteries, and harps. See above, ver. 27, and comp. 1 Chronicles 15:16, 19-21. The Jews had become acquainted with a great variety of musical instruments during the captivity (Daniel 3:7; Psalm 150:4, 5), but rigidly excluded all except the old instruments from the service of religion. Ezra the scribe before them. As their leader. It is interesting to find no jealousy separating Ezra from the governor who had superseded him. As the two conjointly had addressed the people on a former occasion (Nehemiah 8:9), so now they conjointly conducted the ceremony of the dedication.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(36) With the musical instruments of David the man of God.--No part of the service deviated from sacred precedents (comp. Nehemiah 12:27).Ezra the scribe before them.--Between the singers and the princes came he who was the greatest in dignity, though the second in office.
