1 Chronicles 16:5

Obed-edom . No colon should follow this name. And the first time of the occurrence of the name Jeiel in this verse should probably have shown the Jaaziel of 1 Chronicles 15:18 . The contents of this verse put us, then, into possession of this much, that Asaph presided ( 1 Chronicles 6:39 ) at this musical service, and that his instrument was the cymbals ( 1 Chronicles 15:19 ), with which time was kept; that Zechariah was next to him, and, with eight others formed a band, who played on psalteries (or lutes) and harps . If we may guide ourselves by verse 20, 21 of the preceding chapter, three of these—viz. Mattithia, Jeiel, Obed-edom—performed on the harp, the other six on the psaltery, or lute.
