37 So David left Asaph and his brothers there 4before the ark of the covenant of the LORD to minister regularly before the ark 5as each day required,
38 and also 6Obed-edom and his[a] sixty-eight brothers, while 7Obed-edom, the son of Jeduthun, and 8Hosah were to be gatekeepers.
39 And he left 9Zadok the priest and his brothers the priests before the tabernacle of the LORD 10in the high place that was at Gibeon
40 to offer burnt offerings to the LORD 11on the altar of burnt offering 12regularly morning and evening, to do all that is written in the Law of the LORD that he commanded Israel.
41 With them were 13Heman and Jeduthun 14and the rest of those chosen and 15expressly named to give thanks to the LORD, 16for his steadfast love endures forever.
42 Heman and Jeduthun had trumpets and cymbals for the music and instruments 17for sacred song. The sons of Jeduthun were appointed to the gate.
