- 1 Chronicles 16:37–16:43
Places Zadok and priests at Gibeon's tabernacle. Read 1 Chronicles 16:39 within 16:37–16:43. The complete unit records: Asaph's group remains before the ark, while Zadok, priests, Heman, and Jeduthun serve the Mosaic altar at Gibeon; people return home and David blesses his household.
Why It Needs Context
Places Zadok and priests at Gibeon's tabernacle. Its responsible force depends on 16:37–16:43; isolated from “Ark and Gibeon receive coordinated daily service,” the supporting action, name, number, object, quotation, or transition could be mistaken for independent teaching.
