Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible
back to:
1 Chronicles
Book: 1 Chronicles
Chapter: 15
Overview:
Preparations for the removal of the
Ark.
(1-24) The removal of
the
Ark.
(25-29)
1-24 Wise and good men may be guilty of oversights, which they
will correct, as soon as they are aware of them.
David does not
try to justify what had been done amiss, nor to lay the blame
On
others; but he owns himself guilty, with others, of not seeking
God in due order
25-29 It is good to notice the assistance of Divine
Providence,
even in things which fall within the compass of our natural
powers; if
God did not help us, we could not stir a step. If we
do our religious duties in any degree aright, we must own it was
God that helped us; had we been left to ourselves, we should
have been guilty of some fatal errors. And every thing in which
we engage, must be done in dependence
On the
Mercy of
God
through the
Sacrifice of the
Redeemer.
