David also commanded the chiefs of the Levites to appoint their brethren as the singers who should play loudly on musical instruments ,
on harps and lyres and cymbals ,
to raise sounds of joy .
*
So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Jo '
el ;
and of his brethren Asaph the son of Berechi '
ah ;
and of the sons of Merar '
i ,
their brethren ,
Ethan the son of Kusha '
iah ;
*
and with them their brethren of the second order ,

Je-i '

*
So David and the elders of Israel ,
and the commanders of thousands ,
went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD from the house of O '
bed-e '
dom with rejoicing .
*
And because God helped the Levites who were carrying the ark of the covenant of the LORD ,
they sacrificed seven bulls and seven rams .
*
David was clothed with a robe of fine linen ,
as also were all the Levites who were carrying the ark ,
and the singers ,
and Chenani '
ah the leader of the music of the singers ;
and David wore a linen ephod .
*
So all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting ,
to the sound of the horn ,
trumpets ,
and cymbals ,
and made loud music on harps and lyres .
*
And as the ark of the covenant of the LORD came to the city of David ,
Michal the daughter of Saul looked out of the window ,
and saw King David dancing and making merry ;
and she despised him in her heart .
