Commentary
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 15:27
Theological / DevotionalA robe of fine linen. David put aside his kingly robe for this solemn occasion and wore a linen robe of the type worn by the priests and others (2 Chronicles 5:12). He did this, not to indicate that he had assumed priestly prerogatives, but presumably to show that he was here taking his place on a level with his subjects in their service of the Lord.
The Levites. The Levites and singers as well as David the king wore linen robes for this occasion.
Ephod. A short, sleeveless garment such as was usually worn by the priests and others (see on 1 Samuel 2:18; 2 Samuel 6:14). The parallel verse (2 Samuel 6:14) makes no mention of David’s wearing a robe, but it does mention David’s dancing in the ephod, a detail not noted by the chronicler. It would be natural to take off an outer robe for strenuous activity.
