1 Chronicles 25:1 the captains of the army. David relied on his mighty men for help (11:10). Asaph…Heman…Jeduthun. David’s 3 chief ministers of music (6:31–48). prophesy. This is not necessarily to be taken in a revelatory sense, but rather in the sense of proclamation and exhortation through the lyrics of their music (25:2, 3). Prophesying is not necessarily predicting the future or even speaking direct revelation. It is proclaiming truth (v. 5) to people (1 Cor. 14:3), and music is a vehicle for such proclamation in praise (v. 3). David and the leaders selected those most capable (v. 7) of leading the people to worship God through their music.
历代志上 25:1 “军长”。 大卫仰赖他的勇士（11:10）。亚萨…希幔…耶杜顿。 大卫所设立的三位首席音乐领袖（6:31-48）。“说预言” 不一定指启示性质的预言，更是指藉歌歌词句宣告和劝勉（25:2,3）。预言未必是指预测未来或直接传达神的启示，其核心在于向人宣讲真理（5节，参林前14:3），而音乐正是宣讲和赞美的载体（3节）。大卫和领袖们选立最有才能的人（7节），引导百姓以音乐敬拜神。

Psalm 78:41 limited the Holy One. The Israelites did this by doubting God’s power.
诗篇 78:41 “限制以色列的圣者”。 以色列人通过怀疑神的能力而限制了神。

Psalm 78:42 did not remember His power. The generations of Israelites which left Egypt and eventually died in the wilderness were characterized by ignoring God’s previous acts of power and faithfulness. The following verses (vv. 42–55) rehearse the plagues and miracles of the Exodus from Egypt, which marvelously demonstrated God’s omnipotence and covenant love.
诗篇 78:42 “不记得他的能力”。 那些出埃及最终死在旷野的以色列人，常常忽略神早先的大能作为与信实。接下来的经文（42-55节）回顾了出埃及时的灾殃与神迹，奇妙彰显神的全能和他坚守约的爱。

Acts 9:30 Caesarea. An important port city on the Mediterranean located 30 miles north of Joppa. As the capital of the Roman province of Judea and the home of the Roman procurator, it served as the headquarters of a large Roman garrison. sent him out to Tarsus. Paul disappeared from prominent ministry for several years, although he possibly founded some churches around Syria and Cilicia (15:23; Gal. 1:21).
使徒行传 9:30 “该撒利亚”。 地中海沿岸一座重要港口城市，在约帕以北三十英里。这里是罗马犹太行省省会，罗马总督的驻地，也是大型罗马驻军总部。“打发他往大数去”。保罗此后从重要事工中隐退几年，期间可能在叙利亚和基利家一带建立了一些教会（15:23；加1:21）。
