This site's exposition

the commanders of thousands went with rejoicing

on 1 Chronicles 15:25-26

Verse 26 marks the difference from chapter 13: because God helped the Levites carrying the ark, they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams. Chronicles tells the two attempts as one story, the same men and the same ark, with the method changed.

The record, by era

The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice

So David and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands,.... He and the principal men of the nation, and the officers of the army or militia: went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the house of Obededom with joy; with all demonstrations of it; for which purpose such a band of music was prepared, as before described.
