And he stationed the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, with stringed instruments, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, of Gad the king's seer, and of Nathan the prophet; for thus [was] the commandment of the LORD by his prophets.

Then David spoke to the leaders of the Levites to appoint their brethren [to be] the singers accompanied by instruments of music, stringed instruments, harps, and cymbals, by raising the voice with resounding joy.

and with them their brethren of the second [rank:] Zechariah, Ben, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Elipheleh, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, the gatekeepers;

Zechariah, Aziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with strings according to Alamoth;

Chenaniah, leader of the Levites, was instructor [in charge of] the music, because he [was] skillful;

And he appointed some of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, to commemorate, to thank, and to praise the LORD God of Israel:

Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests regularly [blew] the trumpets before the ark of the covenant of God.

four thousand [were] gatekeepers, and four thousand praised the LORD with [musical] instruments, "which I made," [said David,] "for giving praise."

to stand every morning to thank and praise the LORD, and likewise at evening;

Moreover David and the captains of the army separated for the service [some] of the sons of Asaph, of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who [should] prophesy with harps, stringed instruments, and cymbals. And the number of the skilled men performing their service was:

Of Jeduthun, the sons of Jeduthun: Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the direction of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp to give thanks and to praise the LORD.

All these [were] the sons of Heman the king's seer in the words of God, to exalt his horn. For God gave Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.

So the number of them, with their brethren who were instructed in the songs of the LORD, all who were skillful, [was] two hundred and eighty-eight.

When the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, the priests stood in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites, the sons of Asaph, with cymbals, to praise the LORD, according to the ordinance of David king of Israel.

And they sang responsively, praising and giving thanks to the LORD: "For [He is] good, For His mercy [endures] forever toward Israel." Then all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid.

And these [are] the ones who ministered with their sons: Of the sons of the Kohathites [were] Heman the singer, the son of Joel, the son of Samuel,

And his brother Asaph, who stood at his right hand, [was] Asaph the son of Berachiah, the son of Shimea,

All these [were] under the direction of their father for the music [in] the house of the LORD, with cymbals, stringed instruments, and harps, for the service of the house of God. Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman [were] under the authority of the king.

A Psalm of Asaph. The Mighty One, God the LORD, Has spoken and called the earth From the rising of the sun to its going down.

To the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. Truly my soul silently [waits] for God; From Him [comes] my salvation.

A Song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. To the Chief Musician. Set to "Mahalath Leannoth." A Contemplation of Heman the Ezrahite. O LORD, God of my salvation, I have cried out day and night before You.

David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, as were all the Levites who bore the ark, the singers, and Chenaniah the music master [with] the singers. David also wore a linen ephod.

And out of the temple came the seven angels having the seven plagues, clothed in pure bright linen, and having their chests girded with golden bands.

And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

On an instrument of ten strings, On the lute, And on the harp, With harmonious sound.

Let them praise His name with the dance; Let them sing praises to Him with the timbrel and harp.

Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet; Praise Him with the lute and harp!

Praise Him with loud cymbals; Praise Him with clashing cymbals!

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying:

"When they blow both of them, all the congregation shall gather before you at the door of the tabernacle of meeting.

"When you sound the advance, the camps that lie on the east side shall then begin their journey.

Then Joshua the son of Nun called the priests and said to them, "Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD."

So it was, when Joshua had spoken to the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the LORD advanced and blew the trumpets, and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.

Now Joshua had commanded the people, saying, "You shall not shout or make any noise with your voice, nor shall a word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I say to you, 'Shout!' Then you shall shout."

And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD.

And the second day they marched around the city once and returned to the camp. So they did six days.

And the seventh time it happened, when the priests blew the trumpets, that Joshua said to the people: "Shout, for the LORD has given you the city!

"And you, by all means abstain from the accursed things, lest you become accursed when you take of the accursed things, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.

So the people shouted when [the priests] blew the trumpets. And it happened when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat. Then the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.

Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah, and Eliezer, the priests, were to blow the trumpets before the ark of God; and Obed-Edom and Jehiah, doorkeepers for the ark.

Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests regularly [blew] the trumpets before the ark of the covenant of God.

The singers went before, the players on instruments [followed] after; Among [them were] the maidens playing timbrels.
