‏ Revelation of John 19:5

 A voice from the throne ( φωνη απο του θρονου ). Not the voice of God, nor of the Lamb, nor  εκ του ναου (16:17), but from an angel of the Presence. This angel summons all the servants of God to join in the antiphonal praise to God.

 Give praise to our God ( αινειτε τω θεω ημων ). Present active imperative of  αινεω, old verb, with the accusative elsewhere in N.T., but here with the dative as occasionally in the LXX (1Ch 16:36, etc.).
