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. 6 The priests Benaiah and Jahaziel played trumpets all the time in front of the ark of God's promise. 7 For the first time David entrusted Asaph and his relatives with the task of singing songs of thanks to the LORD: 1 Chronicles 16:1-7, God's Word Translation.
