316Now these are the ones whom David appointed over the 7service of song in the house of the Lord, 8after the ark rested there. 32They were ministering in song in front of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting until Solomon’s building of the house of the Lord in Jerusalem; and they 9served in their office according to their order.
