Samuel has "and David and all the house of Israel," and "ark of the Lord." Cornet.--Rather, trumpet. The rest of this verse is wanting in Samuel, but all the additional instruments have already been mentioned (1Chronicles 15:16-21). Trumpets.--Clarions, or straight trumpets. The last clause should be rendered, "and with clanging cymbals, with harps and lutes." (Comp. Psalm 150:3-4.) Verse 28. - Making a noise. This description qualifies the cymbals alone, and should rather appear in our translation as "noise-making cymbals." 1 Chronicles 15:28 records a literal, historical procession in which the entire nation honors God’s manifest presence. Unified people, obedient transport of the ark, exuberant shouting, triumphant horns, and rich instrumental music together declare that the LORD alone is King, worthy of wholehearted, joyous worship from all His covenant people.Parallel Commentaries ...
