Context of 1 Chronicles 16:21
19When they were only a few in number, Very few, and strangers in it, 20And they wandered about from nation to nation, And from one kingdom to another people, He permitted no man to oppress them, And He reproved kings for their sakes, saying, 22“Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm.” 23Sing to the Lord, all the earth; Proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day.
