SCRIPTURE

"And when David had made an end of offering the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Jehovah." — 1 Chronicles 16:2 (ASV)

The burnt offerings. —Heb., the burnt offering, as if one great whole burnt offering were meant. This verse is identical with 2 Samuel 6:18, only omitting Sabaoth at the end, a Divine title which was perhaps obsolete in the chronicler’s day.

He blessed the people in the name of the Lord. —Compare Numbers 6:22-27; 1 Kings 8:14; 1 Kings 8:55; Deuteronomy 33:1.
