Nehemiah 12:44-46

Revised Geneva Translation

⁴⁴ Also at the same time, men were appointed over the chambers of the store for the offerings, (for the firstfruits and for the tithes) to gather the portions of the Law into them from the fields of the cities, for the priests and the Levites. For Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites who served.

⁴⁵ And both the singers and the Levites kept guard of their God, and guard of the purification, according to the commandment of David, and Solomon his son.

⁴⁶ For in the days of old, of David and Asaph, were chief singers and songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.
