1 Chronicles 16:1-6

The Voice

16 The Levites set the covenant chest of God down in the middle of the tent David had built for it, and they made sacrifices and burnt offerings before God. ² When David finished these rituals of burnt offerings and peace offerings he blessed the people under the Eternal’s authority. ³ He gave a loaf of bread, a date roll,^[a] and a raisin cake to every man and woman in Israel. ⁴ He appointed some of the Levites as servants of the covenant chest of the Eternal, as officers to commemorate, to give thanks, and to give praise to the Eternal One, God of Israel. ⁵ Asaph was the head of the servants, next Zechariah, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, and Obed-edom. Jeiel was over all instruments, including a ten-stringed harp and lyre, while Asaph played the cymbals. ⁶ Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests played trumpets regularly before the covenant chest of God.
