Theological Commentary: Click Here
This is a
relatively simple chapter. David is
organizing the priests into a schedule of service. Naturally, the lesson from yesterday
remains. Solomon is about the become king. David wants the transition to go well. David is taking his son’s reign seriously.
What is
there to learn from the chapter about life?
Organization is good. The worship
at the temple was no simple affair.
Hebrew people from across the nation would be coming to the temple to
sacrifice. It was a daunting task that
needed organization to be successful.
For the worship of God to thrive, there needed to be a plan.
Second, the
workload is shared. No priest serves all
year. Every priest serves during their
time and then gets a break to go back home and be with their family when the
next priest comes to serve. There is a
time to work and a time to rest. When we
rest, we enable ourselves to prepare for work.
