From Instruction to History

Scholars point out that this verse is adapted from Psalm 106:48. The psalm gives a liturgical instruction, 'Let all the people say, Amen.' The Chronicler changes this to a historical statement, 'And all the people said, Amen.' This transforms a worship directive into a historical account, emphasizing that the people of David's time fulfilled this ideal act of worship perfectly.
