[16:1] And they brought in the ark of God and set it inside the tent that David had pitched for it, and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.
[16:2] And when David had finished offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord
[16:3] and distributed to all Israel, both men and women, to each a loaf of bread, a portion of meat, and a cake of raisins.
[16:4] Then he appointed some of the Levites as ministers before the ark of the Lord, to invoke, to thank, and to praise the Lord, the God of Israel.
[16:5] Asaph was the chief, and second to him were Zechariah, Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, who were to play harps and lyres; Asaph was to sound the cymbals,
[16:6] and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests were to blow trumpets regularly before the ark of the covenant of God.
[16:7] Then on that day David first appointed that thanksgiving be sung to the Lord by Asaph and his brothers.
