Context of 1 Chronicles 15:24
22Chenaniah, a Levite leader, instructed others how to sing prophetic songs because he was skilled at it. 23Berechiah and Elkanah were gatekeepers for the ark. The priests Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah, and Eliezer blew trumpets in front of God’s ark. Obed Edom and Jehiah were doorkeepers for the ark. 25So David, the leaders of Israel, and the army’s commanders joyfully went to get the ark of the Lord’s promise from Obed Edom’s house. 26Because God helped the Levites who carried the ark of the Lord’s promise, they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams.
