Commentary on 1 Chronicles 15:21

Theological / Devotional

Sheminith. Literally, “eighth.” The exact meaning of this musical term is not known. Some have thought it refers to the octave, or to an eight-stringed installment. However, most scholars now regard it as a melody or a style of singing. The word appears in the superscription of Psalms 6 and 12.

To excel. Hebrew lenasseach, meaning unknown.
