These were to play on harps and lyres, while Asaph was to sound the cymbals, 6 and the priests Benaiah and Jahaziel were to be the regular trumpeters before the ark of the covenant of God. 7 On that same day, David appointed Asaph and his brothers to sing for the first time these praises of the LORD: 1 Chronicles 16:4-7, New American Bible Revised.
