Tell of His Works

Name Date

Read and Think

When the ark was set in the tent, David gave offerings to God. He blessed the people in Yahweh's name. He gave every man and woman a loaf of bread, a portion of meat, and a cake of raisins.

On that day David first ordained giving of thanks to Yahweh by Asaph and his brothers. Their psalm calls God's people to give thanks, call on his name, and make his deeds known among the peoples. It tells them to remember his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

The song then calls all the earth to sing to Yahweh and declare his glory among the nations, because the gods of the peoples are idols, but Yahweh made the heavens. It ends with, Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good (16:34). David left Asaph to minister before the ark continually.

  1. What did David give every man and woman?

1 Chronicles 16 · Grade 5

Thanks Among the Nations

Name Date

Read and Think

The ark's arrival ends in worship and generosity. David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, blessed the people in Yahweh's name, and gave every man and woman bread, meat, and raisins. Then he appointed Levites to minister before the ark, to celebrate, thank, and praise Yahweh, the God of Israel.

The psalm in verses 8-36 draws on Psalms 105, 96, and 106. It begins with Israel's own story: remember his marvelous works and his covenant with Abraham, when they were few in number. Then it widens to all the earth, telling the nations to declare his glory, for all the gods of the peoples are idols, but Yahweh made the heavens.

It closes with thanks and a prayer: Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever. The people asked the God of their salvation to save them and gather them from the nations. For the first readers, back from exile, this was their own prayer. In the New Testament, Jesus sends his followers to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19).

Show What You Know

  1. What did David appoint the Levites to do?

  2. Which psalms does the song draw on?

  3. Why are the gods of the peoples nothing compared to Yahweh?

  4. Why was the prayer to gather us from the nations fitting for the first readers?

  5. Who does Jesus send his followers to in Matthew 28:19?
