King James Version: 1 Chronicles Chapter 16

1 So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings before God.


2 And when David had made an end of offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD.


3 And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine.


4 And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, and to record, and to thank and praise the LORD God of Israel:


5 Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obededom: and Jeiel with psalteries and with harps; but Asaph made a sound with cymbals;


6 Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.


7 Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank the LORD into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.


8 Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.


9 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.


10 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.


11 Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.


12 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;


13 O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.


14 He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth.


15 Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations;


16 Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;


17 And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,


18 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;


19 When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.


20 And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people;


21 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,


22 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.


23 Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation.


24 Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations.


25 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all gods.


26 For all the gods of the people are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.


27 Glory and honour are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place.


28 Give unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.


29 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.


30 Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.


31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD reigneth.


32 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that is therein.


33 Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of the LORD, because he cometh to judge the earth.


34 O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.


35 And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, and glory in thy praise.


36 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel for ever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised the LORD.

37 So he left there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, as every day's work required:


38 And Obededom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obededom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be porters:


39 And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that was at Gibeon,


40 To offer burnt offerings unto the LORD upon the altar of the burnt offering continually morning and evening, and to do according to all that is written in the law of the LORD, which he commanded Israel;


41 And with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were expressed by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because his mercy endureth for ever;


42 And with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should make a sound, and with musical instruments of God. And the sons of Jeduthun were porters.


43 And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.

the is quite amazing...

the Lord led me to 1 Chronicles 16 today. i read it outloud and shared it with a partner
that also read it outloud to me. a couple of things really stood out to me ...Asaph,
gatherer, gathering. and the musical instruments first mention written in one order
and then after the blessing written in another order. also the sustenance given after
the prayer and praise...bread, meat, and cake of raisin! there is then a psalm, called
this psalm in italics, the Psalm of Thanksgiving. O, this is so rich! i am going to
post it under general...

please comment if you feel led. and thank you for your comments.

blessings,

I Chronicles 4:10 The prayer of Jabez. That just popped up in my mind. And thank you Crown and Signet!

. . . and God [IHVH] granted his request . . .

Amen !

Bless you, Gregg . . . you are so inspired with the Holy Ghost anointing !

VERSE NINE

9 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.


He desires this from us...

He is in the midst to do a might work. Please do not miss Him. Sing unto Him.
Grab ahold of His garment, let the threads wrap around your fingers and give Him praise. He is gathering His own to Himself. Offer Him your praise and the fruit of your lips...He is waiting to hear our voice of praise.
Sing unto Him a new song...

The New Testament clearly defines Christ wearing a prayer shawl
with the traditional blue tassel (cord/string) attached to the wing
of the hem of the garment.



http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l303/Ste...eHemofJesus.jpg



http://scriptures.lds.org/en/bd/h/36

Hem of Garment

An important part of an Israelite’s dress, owing to the regulation of Num. 15: 38-39. It was really a tassel at each “wing” or corner of the tallith or mantle (Matt. 14: 36). The law required that it should be bound with a thread of blue, the color of heaven. The strict Jews to this day wear these tassels, though they are usually concealed. The Pharisees made them conspicuously large (Matt. 23: 5). It would be the tassel that hung over the shoulder at the back that the woman with the issue of blood came and touched (Luke 8: 44; also Ex. 28: 33-34).

When we go into our prayer tent...it is actually the tallit. Paul was a tallit maker
and it was translated tent...but it is such a beautiful picture of "tabernacling" with
the Lord.

This made me think of Zechariah 8:23...concerning the sleeve, shirt, skirt...(mantle)
and I found this very interesting material for Chapter 8.

Shalom

Yes,

The tent/tabernacle/the booth . . . the curtains/veil of the Holy of Holies . . . Amen !

The Prayer Cloth, the hem of the garment, the banner (flag) . . .


Book #38, Zechariah, which God sent him eight (8) visions . . . and gave him the prediction of the coming of Zion’s King, `the Lord almighty`.

thinking about the musical instruments mentioned here...trumpets,
stringed instuments, harps, but Asaph made music with cymbals...

I decided to make music with my HEART . . . Praise His Holy Name [IHVH]
Wow . . . thank you sister, for your words, will you write your testimony so I can add
it to the anointed daughter's section ?

http://www.onefloorup.com/uploaded_images/...Human_Heart.jpg

Mat 9:20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:
Mat 9:21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
Mat 9:22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

But, in Luke you have something different that is in the meaning. See, Jesus was going to heal the 12 year old daughter of Jarius that was dying. The power of Jesus must have been oriented to 12 years, because when the woman who had an issue of blood 'for 12 years' touched his garment, Jesus turned aroud and asked, 'Who touched me? My power is gone!'
But then, the daughter died! Jesus Christ was keeping the girl alive until he got there so he could show the power of God.
After Jesus was told the daughter was dead, he turned to the ruler from the synagogue and said, 'Fear not. Only believe and she shall be made whole.'
What is the significance there?
It took the emphasis away from Jesus and put it on the synagogue and the rulers of the synagogue and their belief!

1Ch 16:8 Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.

Good Morning, Gregg . . .

What is the significance ?

Answer, as you are presenting is Romans 12:3 . . .

Romans 12:3

King James Bible
For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.




EXCERPT
http://daughtersofgodprayerclothmission.bl...l-biblical.html
When using anointing oil during times of prayer, it is important to remember the anointing oil is only a tangible symbolic representation of our faith in Jesus Christ. Anointing oils have no "special power" in and of themselves. It is Jesus Christ alone who performs miracles and answers our prayers of faith...with or without anointing oil.




EXCERPT:
http://daughtersofgodprayerclothmission.bl...igh-priest.html
The cloth of a banner [flag], is indeed a cloth with material value and a prayer cloth is a cloth with material value !

The anointing of the hem of Christ garment, is a prayer
shawl clothing item, a cloth of material value.

The handkerchief’s and apron’s of Paul are clothing
items, with material value.


Acts 19:11-12
11 And God was doing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul, 12 so that even handkerchiefs or aprons that had touched his skin were carried away to the sick, and their diseases left them and the evil spirits came out of them.


The faith the bleeding woman pursued to seek out Christ, to touch the hem of His garment, is what healed her, per Christ statement as follows :


Mark 5:34
34And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

That brought Shem, Ham, and Japheth to mind.

Gen 9:23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.

Go to Ex. 28: 39, 42

Exo 28:39 And thou shalt embroider the coat of fine linen, and thou shalt make the miter of fine linen, and thou shalt make the girdle of needlework.
Exo 28:42 And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness; from the loins even unto the thighs they shall reach:

What made me think of that was the people of Japheth were the tent dwellers; the people of Shem were the tent makers.

Gen 9:27 God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

So, Paul may have been from the tribe of Shem.

Just me thinking!

Gregg :


How outstanding.


The tent/tabernacle/booth . . .


The Paul's handkerchief's and apron's (prayer cloth) / parallel's to tent maker Paul and
the tabernacle theme of Christ.



Hebrews 9:11-15
11But when Christ appeared as a (A)high priest of the (B)good things [a]to come, He entered through ©the greater and more perfect tabernacle, (D)not made with hands, that is to say, (E)not of this creation;




http://www.bible-history.com/smiths/T/Tabernacle/

Tabernacle

The tabernacle was the tent of Jehovah, called by the same name as the tents of the people in the midst of which it stood. It was also called the sanctuary and the tabernacle of the congregation. The first ordinance given to Moses, after the proclamation of the outline of the law from Sinai, related to the ordering of the tabernacle, its furniture and its service as the type which was to be followed when the people came to their own home and "found a place" for the abode of God. During the forty days of Moses' first retirement with God in Sinai, an exact pattern of the whole was shown him, and all was made according to it. Ex 25:9,40; 26:30; 39:32,42,43; Nu 8:4; Ac 7:44; Heb 8:5 The description of this plan is preceded by an account of the freewill offerings which the children of Israel were to be asked to make for its execution. I. THE TABERNACLE ITSELF.--
1. Its name. --It was first called a tent or dwelling, Ex 25:8 because Jehovah as it were, abode there. It was often called tent or tabernacle from its external appearance.

The Best Web Link, To Understand The Kings Of Israel, . . . King Saul, Esther, Saul alias Paul (all of Benjamin Tribe)
http://www.christian-forum.net/index.php?s...c=16260&hl=



Paul was Tribe of Benjamin . . . however, Paul writes about Shem . . . see below >

http://www.layevangelism.com/advtxbk/secti...-10/sec10-6.htm
"The generations of Shem (Gen 11:10-26) stretch from Shem to Abraham, covering ten generations — 437 years. Shem himself may have recorded this entire genealogy, for his life spanned the period covered by it. Shem lived from 98 years before the flood until 502 after the Flood, which means that he lived until 75 years after Abraham entered Canaan."220/53

Shem is also called "the father of all the children of Eber." The term Hebrew is derived from the name Eber (Gen 10:21, Num 24:24) and means "to pass over."217 The Messiah coming through the line of Shem was fulfilled in Luke 3:36 where Luke tells us that Jesus came through the line of Shem.



*Jesus Christ, A Descent of Abraham

Another descendant of Shem was Abraham. Abraham means father of a great multitude.218 Through Abraham came Isaac, then Jacob through whom the twelve tribes of Israel were born. Matthew records in the Gospel of Matthew 1:1 "The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham." God told Abraham in Genesis 12:3, "In you shall all families of the earth be blessed." The Apostle Paul explains to us in Galatians 3:16 that this promise was fulfilled in the person of Jesus Christ: "Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say, ‘And to seeds,’ as referring to many, but rather to one, ‘And to your seed,’ that is, Christ."

Esther king of Israel ? LOL

I guess my point is, why is her named even mentioned ?

Two comments in the same topic name:

() The Best Web Link, To Understand The Kings Of Israel

() King Saul, Esther, Saul alias Paul (all of Benjamin Tribe)


That is why you have the colon [ , ] then . . . ( separation of thought )


. . . which continues the thought of all of these people are of the Benjamin Tribe.


So it expressed two thoughts.


Love to you, MM.

And I am interested in your thoughts of the VOTE, topic ?

Hello, MM :



I am missing you !


Blessings . . .



There are important historical values, in Biblical understanding the Kings of Israel.

The confirmation of King Saul, being of the Benjamin Tribe . . . versus the King's
of Judah, are well established.


And the duality of the topic, blends the Kings of Israel, with the character's known
in the Bible under the Benjamin Tribe.

Which Esther as Paul, were both Benjamin Tribe.

Why did you not become bothered with Paul being listed, however, Esther ?


---------- As I answered, I am projecting two theme's under one topic !

This is why it is so important to clarify the "two's"

As that is how the Whole Word of God is written !

AS there were ten commandments on two stones

There were twelve tribes of Israel - 10 & 2

1. Benjamin - born in Cannan - mother Rachael died in Bethlehem - she named him Benoni , which means - son of my sorrow - Jacob changed his name to Benjamin - Jacob came through the promised son of Abraham - Isaac. Jesus was the promised messiah of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 - promises. Paul , who was Saul, before his name was changed by God , was of the tribe of Benamin.

2. Juda(h) - Fourth son of Jacob of Leah. Hebrew of 7:14 - "Our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood"

1. King
2. Priesthood

1. Benjamin = brother
2. Judah = brethren

1. Free woman - Rachael - Promised wife - youngest dauther of Laban - 14 years (double = 2)
2. Bond woman - Leah - not promies, but wife by Law of Laban, she was the - elder daughter of Laban - 7 years

In Christ - Christ IN - M M

Thank you,



And I will collect your wealth of info, for any updates to my on going favorite research :


http://benjaminthecupsceptreofchrist.blogspot.com/



The point of the topic, started via Signet, is the Psalm of Thanksgiving.

So I give thanksgiving, for the underdog.

So in behalf of that, I see how the thanksgiving can be connected to the few chosen
of Benjamin Tribe, versus the many elected for King, outside of Tribe of Benjamin.

In Kingship, the underdog is the Benjamin Tribe.


Have you ever thought, MM, I have . . . why Benjamin Tribe is mixed in the group of the
Kingship of Israel ?

And how rare, that appointed post is ? Under the historical category of the other
king's being Judah ?

Your opinion is important !

Yeah, think about the Tower of Babel; they were all one MIND. One language.

http://www.cswnet.com/~duxrow/kings.htm



All the kings of Judah are Jews/of Judah (except Saul, he was of Benjamin).

The only Kings of Israel who were of Judah were King David and King Solomon - the rest are of Joseph (except Saul, he was of Benjamin).


The kings of Israel were of Ephraim - when the United Kingdom split the north went into rebelion against Judah and made Jeroboam (the First) King - he was of Joseph > Ephraim clan.


http://www.cswnet.com/~duxrow/kings.htm

Esther was chosen by King Xerxes to replace Queen Vashti (Est. 2:4, 9, 17).

Esther did not have a mother or father. (Est. 2:7)

Esther did the 'commandment of Mordecai.' (Est. 2:20)

Mordecai was a Jew and refused to bow or give reverence to Haman the chief prince who was promoted by Xerxes. (Est. 3:1,4)

Haman wanted to kill the Jews and take their 'spoil.' (Est. 3:13)

Mordecai told Esther about the decree and warned Esther that she would be killed also. Esther told Mordecai to gather all the Jews and fast 3 days for her; Esther said that her and her maidens will do that also. And Mordecai did that. (Est. 4: 13-17)

Well, Esther made a feast for King Xerxes and Haman and since Esther was so pleasing to the King, what she wanted was granted. And what she wanted was to save the Jews, her people, and hang Haman.

Est 8:7 Then the king Ahasuerus said unto Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged upon the gallows, because he laid his hand upon the Jews.
Est 8:8 Write ye also for the Jews, as it liketh you, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's ring: for the writing which is written in the king's name, and sealed with the king's ring, may no man reverse.

So, that's why Ether is included in the list of kings. Not only did she not have father or mother, she saved the Jews. Just like Jesus Christ who was labeled 'King of the Jews.'

Thank you, Gregg :

When I update the following research, I will keep your commentary in mind :





http://cradleofcrimestringsofesther.blogspot.com/

Cradle of Crime, Strings of Esther
HELD BY CORDS [STRINGS/THREADS]
CRADLE/CRIB = ARISA
PURPLE CODE
BLUE CODE
GREEN CODE
ESTHER [HIDDEN]
MORDECHAI
FEAST OF PURIM [LOTS]
PURIM'S PARALLEL'S

Esther was told by king Xerxes to write a decree in favor of the Jews and seal it with the king's ring. Anything that was sealed with the king's ring, no man can reverse. Esther then became the 'King of the Jews.'

In parallel, to Christ being called the King of the Jews ? . . . very interesting, Gregg !

There is a thought that the line of Haman continued through to Hitler. There is a lot of similarities, there. Haman was hanged, but we do not know anything about his father Hammedatha. We see Gods hand in the world now trying to eliminate the evil that is here. We know that Ahmdinejad has said he wants to get rid of the Jews and wipe Israel off the map. But, he has become sickly. God's hand is there.

So let's give God all the praise for allowing us to live!

Gregg :

When I was doing the research for my Esther blog . . . due to the word : arisa (cradle)

Cradle of Crime . . . is linked to one of the 10 sons ( son #8 ) named Arisai


Take a look at this man's work on the truth of hanging : Vau

See: http://users.aristotle.net/~bhuie/code10.htm

The Ten Sons

Haman was hung on the gallows he had constructed for Mordecai immediately following the banquet with Esther and the king. His ten sons, however, were slain at a much later date, the time designated for the slaughter of the Jewish people according to Haman’s decree. That date being 13 Adar.

Each son’s name is listed separately in scripture. Names are listed in scripture to show a special significance, in this case to show that each son was prominent. In addition, the names of the ten sons are written singly; each on a separate line of text. Usually when names, or other words, are set apart in Hebrew scripture, they are stacked in the manner of bricks: one whole over two halves, etc. This is not the case with the names of Haman’s sons. Their names are written as whole name over whole name, thus showing a weakness in the foundation. In other words, though Haman’s sons enjoyed power and prosperity, they were easily defeated.

The Vav

There is another reason why the ten names hold a special significance. Remember that the Megillah, the Hebrew scroll of Esther, is written in Hebrew. One letter stands differently than the other Hebrew characters in the text. This vav is the first letter of the last son’s name. The letter also appears larger than the other Hebrew characters; therefore, special significance is drawn.

The rabbis taught that this letter is larger in order to show the manner of death of the ten sons. The larger vav, I, which resembles a large stake, represents a very large gallows upon which they believed the 10 sons were "hung" one above the other, rather than 10 separate gallows.

The term gallows is misleading for modern readers. The sons, and Haman himself, were not hung by a noose which is representative of capital punishment in the old west. Rather, the victims of hanging in Persian times were impaled on a large stake and left to hang for public exhibition. This would lend some credence to what the rabbis suspected.

The rabbis also speculated another reason the vav in the last son’s name is larger. They taught that the vav pointed to the sixth millennium. The letter vav is the sixth letter in the Hebrew alphabet, and is used for the number six. It is also a letter that is used to indicate man, as man was created on the sixth day. If Adam had not sinned, he would have remained immortal. However, when he sinned, he became mortal. The recording of the generations in scripture makes a distinction involving the vav.

These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the L-rd G-d made the earth and the heavens,

Speaking of twos...

I find it interesting that Asaph made music with cymbals. The name means
to gather, or gatherer.
