16 Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;
16 the covenant he made with Abraham, the oath he swore to Isaac.
16 the covenant that he made with Abraham, his sworn promise to Isaac,
16 The same one he made with Abraham, the very one he swore to Isaac;
16 The covenant which He made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac,
16 This is the covenant he made with Abraham and the oath he swore to Isaac.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 16:16
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 16:7-36
(Read 1 Chronicles 16:7-36)
Let God be glorified in our praises. Let others be edified and taught, that strangers to him may be led to adore him. Let us ourselves triumph and trust in God. Those that give glory to God's name are allowed to glory in it. Let the everlasting covenant be the great matter of our joy his people of old, be remembered by us with thankfulness to him. Show forth from day to day his salvation, his promised salvation by Christ. We have reason to celebrate that from day to day; for we daily receive the benefit, and it is a subject that can never be exhausted. In the midst of praises, we must not forget to pray for the servants of God in distress.
