16 1 The Ark being placed, they offer sacrifices. 4 David ordaineth Asaph and his brethren to minister before the Lord. 8 He appointeth a notable Psalm to be sung in praise of the Lord.
1 So (A)they brought in the Ark of God, and set it in the midst of the Tabernacle that David had pitched for it, and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.
2 And when David had made an end of offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he [a]blessed the people in the Name of the Lord.
3 And he dealt to every one of Israel both man and woman, to every one a cake of bread, and a piece of flesh, and a bottle of wine.
4 And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the Ark of the Lord, and to [b]rehearse and to thank and praise the Lord God of Israel:
5 Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-Edom, even Jeiel with instruments, viols, and harps, and Asaph to make a sound with cymbals,
6 And Benaiah and Jahaziel Priests, with trumpets continually before the Ark of the covenant of God.
