1 Chronicles 16:5

Verse 5 of 43. The 16th of 29 chapters in 1 Chronicles, in History.

1They brought in God’s ark, and set it in the middle of the tent that David had pitched for it; and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.

2When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the LORD’s name.

3He gave to everyone of Israel, both man and woman, to everyone a loaf of bread, a portion of meat, and a cake of raisins.

4He appointed some of the Levites to minister before the LORD’s ark, and to commemorate, to thank, and to praise the LORD, the God of Israel:

5Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, with stringed instruments and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud;

6with Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.

7Then on that day David first ordained giving of thanks to the LORD by the hand of Asaph and his brothers.

8Oh give thanks to the LORD. Call on his name. Make what he has done known among the peoples.

9Sing to him. Sing praises to him. Tell of all his marvelous works.
