1 Chronicles 16:3 In-Context

1 The ark of God was brought into Jerusalem. It was put in the tent David had set up for it. The priests brought burnt offerings and friendship offerings to God.

2 After David finished sacrificing those offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord.

3 He gave to each Israelite man and woman a loaf of bread. He also gave each one a date cake and a raisin cake.

4 He appointed some of the Levites to serve in front of the ark of the Lord. David wanted them to pray, give thanks and praise the Lord. He is the God of Israel.

5 Asaph was the leader of those Levites. Zechariah was next. Then came Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-Edom and Jeiel. They played the lyres and harps. Asaph played the cymbals.
