1 Chronicles 6:31-47

Evangelical Heritage Version

The Temple Musicians

³¹ These are the men David appointed to be the musicians in the Lord’s house from the time that the Ark came to rest there. ³² They ministered with music in front of the Dwelling, that is, the Tent of Meeting, until Solomon built the Lord’s house in Jerusalem. They performed their service according to the duties prescribed for them. ³³ This is the list of those who served and their sons.
