So 3:8 Isa 29:13 Ho 10:11

Verse 7. Two hundred fourscore and eight.] That it twelve classes of twenty-four Levites each; for two hundred and eighty-eight divided by twelve quotes twenty-four.

Ver. 7. So the number of them, with their brethren , etc.] Who each of them had twelve with them, as after reckoned: that were instructed in the songs of the Lord ; taught how to sing them: [even] all that were cunning ; expert and well skilled in the science of singing: was two hundred and eighty eight ; for there being twenty four classes answerable to those of the priests, and twelve in each class, twelve times twenty four makes two hundred and eighty eight.

--David put those in order who were appointed to be singers an musicians in the temple. To prophesy, in this place, means praising God with great earnestness and devout affections, under the influences of the Holy Spirit. In raising these affections, poetry and music wer employed. If the Spirit of God do not put life and fervour into ou devotions, they will, however ordered, be a lifeless, worthless form _________________________________________________
