1 Chronicles 16:1 In-Context
1 The men carrying the ark set it inside the tent David had put up for it. They presented burnt offerings and fellowship offerings in God's presence.
2 When David had finished sacrificing burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD.
3 He also distributed to every person in Israel--both men and women--a loaf of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake.
4 David appointed some Levites to serve in front of the LORD's ark by offering prayers, thanks, and praise to the LORD God of Israel.
5 Asaph was the head; Zechariah was second, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed Edom, and Jeiel with harps and lyres. Asaph played the cymbals.
