Matthew Henry Commentary 1 Chronicles 16:1-6

"And they brought in the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before God. 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. And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a portion [of flesh], and a cake of raisins. And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of Jehovah, and to celebrate and to thank and praise Jehovah, the God of Israel: Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, with psalteries and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud; and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God." — 1 Chronicles 16:1-6 (ASV)

Though God's word and ordinances may be clouded and eclipsed for a time, they will shine out of obscurity. This was merely a tent, a humble dwelling, yet this was the tabernacle which David, in his psalms, often speaks of with so much affection.

David showed himself generous to his subjects, just as he had found God gracious to him. Those whose hearts are enlarged with holy joy should show it by being open-handed.
