1 Chronicles 16:1-6
1They brought the ark of God and put it in the middle of the tent David had pitched for it. Then they offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings before God.
2When David finished offering burnt sacrifices and peace offerings, he pronounced a blessing over the people in the Lord’s name.
3He then handed out to each Israelite man and woman a loaf of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake.
4He appointed some of the Levites to serve before the ark of the Lord, to offer prayers, songs of thanks, and hymns to the Lord God of Israel.
5Asaph was the leader and Zechariah second in command, followed by Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-Edom, and Jeiel. They were to play stringed instruments; Asaph was to sound the cymbals;
6and the priests Benaiah and Jahaziel were to blow trumpets regularly before the ark of God’s covenant.
