1 Chronicles 16:43 Summary
[This verse shows that after a big gathering, everyone went home, and David went back to his house to pray for and thank God for his family, just like we're told to do in Ephesians 6:4. He wanted to make sure they were all doing well and that God was blessing them. We can learn from David's example by taking time to pray for and care for our own families, and by putting God first in our daily lives, as seen in Deuteronomy 6:6-7. By doing so, we can experience God's love and blessing in our own homes, just as David did.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for David to bless his household?
This means that David, as the spiritual leader of his family, is taking the time to pray for and thank God for his loved ones, as seen in other biblical examples like Job 1:5, where Job would regularly offer sacrifices for his children.
Why did the people depart for their homes after the gathering?
The people departed because the formal gathering and worship service had come to an end, and it was time for them to return to their daily lives, just as we see in Deuteronomy 16:7, where the Israelites were instructed to return to their tents after celebrating the Passover.
What can we learn from David's example in this verse?
We can learn the importance of prioritizing our families and taking time to nurture their spiritual well-being, as instructed in Ephesians 6:4, where fathers are told to bring up their children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
How does this verse relate to the rest of the chapter?
This verse serves as a conclusion to the chapter, which describes the gathering of the Israelites to bring the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem and establish a place of worship, as seen in 1 Chronicles 16:1-6, and David's actions in this verse demonstrate his commitment to following God's commands, as stated in Deuteronomy 6:6-7, to love God and teach His commands to his household.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways I can bless my own household, just as David did?
- How can I prioritize my family's spiritual well-being in my busy daily life?
- What does it mean for me to 'return home' and focus on my own family, and how can I do this in a way that honors God?

Gill's Exposition on 1 Chronicles 16:43
And all the people departed, every man to his house,.... Having accompanied the ark to its place, and having praised the Lord for it, and been refreshed with food, see 2 Samuel 6:19 and David
Trapp's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 16:43
1 Chronicles 16:43 And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.Ver. 43. And David returned to bless his house.] See on 2 Samuel 6:20.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 16:43
(43) This verse is a duplicate of 2 Samuel 6:19-20 a. Departed.—Plural; Samuel has singular. Returned.—Rather, went round (1 Chronicles 10:14). Samuel has “returned,” which in Hebrew is very similar. The incident which in 2 Samuel 6:20-23 here follows (Michal’s encounter with David) is omitted by the chronicler as a matter of purely domestic interest, and therefore out of place in his history, which is mainly concerned with the sacred institutions. 1 Chronicles 15:29, however, plainly implies the story.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Chronicles 16:43
37–43. The Service before the Ark and the Service at Gibeon As Zadok alone is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 16:39 as “before the tabernacle,” Abiathar (Ahimelech) the other highpriest may have been in charge of the ark. Cp. 1 Chronicles 15:11, note. The Deuteronomic law that there should be one sanctuary only was not yet recognised even by kings of a religious reputation. In 1 Kings 3. Solomon is said to have sacrificed at Gibeon (1 Chronicles 16:4) and before the ark at Jerusalem (1 Chronicles 16:15).
