1 Chronicles 16 General Notes
Structure and formatting
Chapters 15 and 16 tell how David organized the priests and Levites. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/priest)
Some translations set poetry farther to the right than the rest of the text to show that it is poetry. The ULB does this with the poetic song in 16:8-36.
Special concepts in this chapter
