1 Chronicles 15:16

David's Wives And Children

¹⁵ The Levites carried God's Ark on their shoulders. They used poles as Moses had commanded according to Jehovah's instructions. ¹⁶ Then David spoke to the chiefs of the Levites to appoint their relatives the singers, with instruments of music, harps, lyres, loud-sounding cymbals, to raise sounds of joy. ¹⁷ So the Levites appointed Heman son of Joel, and from his relatives they appointed Asaph Berechiah's son. From their own relatives, Merari's descendants, they appointed Ethan son of Kushaiah.
