1 Chronicles 16:36-43

36 ¹Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, From everlasting even to everlasting. Then all the people ²said, "Amen," and praised the LORD.

Worship before the Ark

37 So he left Asaph and his relatives there ³before the ark of the covenant of the LORD to minister before the ark continually, ⁴as every day's work required;

38 and ⁵Obed-edom with his 68 * relatives; Obed-edom, also the son of Jeduthun, and ⁶Hosah as gatekeepers.

39 He left ⁷Zadok the priest and his relatives the priests ⁸before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place which was at Gibeon,

40 to offer burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of burnt offering continually morning and evening, ⁹even according to all that is written in the law of the LORD, which He commanded Israel.

41 With them were ¹⁰Heman and Jeduthun, and ¹¹the rest who were chosen, who were designated by name, to ¹²give thanks to the LORD, because His lovingkindness is everlasting.

42 And with them were Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those who should sound aloud, and with instruments for ¹³the songs of God, and the sons of Jeduthun for the gate.

43 ¹⁴Then all the people departed each to his house, and David returned to bless his household.
