1 Chronicles 16:35

16:35 Say this prayer: 1  “Deliver us, O God who delivers us!

Gather us! Rescue us from the nations!

Then we will give thanks 2  to your holy name,

and boast about your praiseworthy deeds.” 3 

1 Chronicles 25:3

25:3 From the sons of Jeduthun: 4  Gedaliah, Zeri, 5  Jeshaiah, 6  Hashabiah, and Mattithiah – six in all, 7  under supervision of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied as he played a harp, giving thanks and praise to the Lord.

1 tn The words “this prayer” are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

2 tn Heb “to give thanks.” The infinitive construct indicates result after the imperative.

3 tn Heb “to boast in your praise.”

4 tn Heb “belonging to Jeduthun, the sons of Jeduthun.”

5 tn This name appears as “Izri” in v. 10.

6 tc One Hebrew ms and some LXX mss supply the name “Shimei” after “Jeshaiah.” Most Hebrew mss omit the name here (but cf. v. 17).

7 tc The list includes only five names. Apparently the name “Shimei” (see v. 17), which appears in one medieval Hebrew ms and in the LXX, has been accidentally omitted from the Hebrew text.
