1 Chronicles 16:42

1 Chronicles 16:42

And with them Heman and Jeduthun, with trumpets and cymbals,
&c.] Or with them were the trumpets and cymbals, as Kimchi; or, as Piscator supplies it, with them he "left" the trumpets and cymbals:

for those that should make a sound;
by striking upon them:

and with musical instruments of God;
sacred ones, such as were devoted to his service, as psalteries and harps; the Syriac and Arabic versions carry the sense of the words quite differently, that these men did not sing with those musical instruments, but with a pleasant voice, and with pure and acceptable prayers, in humility and uprightness, glorified God:

and the sons of Jeduthun were porters;
at the tabernacle in Gibeon.
