And these [were] the singers, heads of families of the Levites, [to whom were] established daily courses, for they were employed in the services day and night.

And with them [there were] trumpets and cymbals to sound aloud, and musical instruments for the songs of God; and the sons of Jeduthun [were] at the gate.

And King David and the captains of the army appointed to their services the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who [should] prophesy with harps, lutes, and cymbals; and their number was according to their polls serving in their ministrations.

To Jeduthun [were reckoned] the sons of Jeduthun, Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six after their father Jeduthun, sounding loudly on the harp thanksgiving and praise to the Lord.

All these [were] the sons of Heman the king's chief player in the praises of God, to lift up the horn. And God gave to Heman fourteen sons, and three daughters.

And the number of them after their brethren, those instructed to sing to God, everyone that understood [singing] was two hundred and eighty-eight.

And he established, according to the order of his father David, the courses of the priests, and [that] according to their public ministrations. And the Levites [were appointed] over their charges, to praise and minister before the priests according to the daily order. And the porters were appointed according to their courses to the different gates; for thus [were] the commandments of David the man of God.

And the sons of Asaph the psalm-singers [were] at their post according to the commands of David, and Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun, the prophets of the king. Also, the chiefs and the porters of the several gates-it was not for them to stir from the service of the holy things, for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.

and four thousand gatekeepers, and four thousand to praise the Lord with instruments which he made to praise the Lord.

and the plan which he had in his mind of the courts of the house of the Lord, and of all the chambers round about, [designed] for the treasuries of the house of God, and of the treasuries of the holy things, and of the chambers for resting;

David gave all to Solomon in the Lord's handwriting, according to the knowledge given to him of the work of the pattern.

And David rose early in the morning, and the word of the Lord came to the prophet Gad, the seer, saying, Go, and speak to David, saying,

And the Lord spoke to Gad the seer, saying,

And the rest of the acts of David, the former and the latter, are written in the history of Samuel the seer, and in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the history of Gad the seer,

that the king said to Nathan the prophet, Behold now, I live in a house of cedar, and the ark of the Lord dwells in the midst of a tent.

And it came to pass in that night, that the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying,

And the Lord sent Nathan the prophet to David; and he went in to him, and said to him, There were two men in one city, one rich and the other poor.

But the poor [man had] only one little ewe lamb, which he had purchased, and preserved, and reared; and it grew up with himself and his children in common; it ate of his bread and drank of his cup, and slept in his bosom, and was to him as a daughter.

And David was greatly moved with anger against the man; and David said to Nathan, [As] the Lord lives, the man that did this thing shall surely die.

And Nathan said to David, You are the man that has done this! Thus says the Lord God of Israel: I anointed you to be king over Israel, and I rescued you out the hand of Saul;

And the hand of the Lord was [present] to give them one heart to come, to do according to the commands of the king and of the princes, by the word of the Lord.
