1 Chronicles 15:20

THE ARK.

V. Two warders of the Ark.
VI. The king, with the heads of the nation.

(20) The eight harpers. Perhaps Maaseiah or Benaiah belongs to the next verse. This would give seven (comp. 1 Chronicles 15:24) in each band.

Aziel should be Jaaziel, as in 1 Chronicles 15:18.

Jehiel. — God liveth. Jeiel=Jeuel (1 Chronicles 9:6; 1 Chronicles 9:35), Remembered of God.

With psalteries on Alamoth. — “With harps after the mode of maidens:” that is, probably, of soprano compass or pitch. The same expression occurs in the heading of Psalms 46
