Worship before the Ark
37 So he left Asaph and his relatives there (A)before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, to minister before the ark continually, (B)as every day’s work required, 38 and (C)Obed-edom with [a]his sixty-eight relatives; Obed-edom, the son of Jeduthun, and (D)Hosah as gatekeepers. 39 He left (E)Zadok the priest and his relatives the priests (F)before the [b]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, (G)even according to everything that is written in the Law of the Lord, which He commanded Israel. 41 With them were (H)Heman and Jeduthun, and (I)the rest who were chosen, who were designated by name, to (J)give thanks to the Lord, because His [c]kindness is everlasting. 42 And with them were Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those who were to play them, and with instruments for (K)the songs of God, and the sons of Jeduthun for the gate.
43 (L)Then all the people departed, each to his house; and David returned to bless his household.
