Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

with psalteries: Instead of celebrating his own heroism or the valour of his troops on this memorable occasion, this excellent prince sung with his whole army the praises of Jehovah, the God of hosts, who disposes of the victory according to his pleasure. This conduct was becoming the descendant and successor of David, the man after God's own heart, and of a religious people, the peculiar inheritance of Jehovah. 2 Samuel 6:5, 1 Chronicles 13:8, 1 Chronicles 23:5, 1 Chronicles 25:6, Psalms 57:8, Psalms 92:3, Psalms 149:3, Psalms 150:3-5, Revelation 14:2, Revelation 14:3

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries, and harps, and trumpets,.... The three principal instruments of music used in singing the praises of God; these they played upon as they came to the city, and entered it, and passed through it:

unto the house of the Lord; the temple, there to offer praise and thanksgiving again.
