16 Then they brought in the God’s box and put it in the middle of the tent that David had erected for it, and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings in front of God. 2 When David finished presenting the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in Yahweh’s name. 3 Then he distributed a loaf of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake, to each man and woman in Yisrael.

4 Then David appointed some Levites to minister in front of Yahweh’s box and to commemorate and to thank and to praise Yisrael’s God Yahweh. 5 Asaf was their leader with Zekaryah as his assistant. The other Levites who helped were Yeiel, Shemiramot, Yehiel, Mattityah, Eliav, Benayah, Oved-Edom, and Yeiel. They played harps and lyres, and Asaph played cymbals. 6 Benayah and Yahaziel the priests regularly blew trumpets regularly in front the box containing God’s agreement.
