View In My Bible
1
They brought the ark of God and set it inside the tent that David had pitched1 for it, and they presented burnt offerings and fellowship offeringsa before God.
2
After David had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, he blessed2 the people in the name of the LORD.
3
Then he gave a loaf of bread, a cake of dates and a cake of raisins3 to each Israelite man and woman.
4
He appointed some of the Levites to minister4 before the ark of the LORD, to make petition, to give thanks, and to praise the LORD, the God of Israel:
5
Asaph was the chief, Zechariah second, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-Edom and Jeiel. They were to play the lyres and harps, Asaph was to sound the cymbals,
6
and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests were to blow the trumpets regularly before the ark of the covenant of God.
