The Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.

4,000 are to be gatekeepers, and 4,000 are to praise the Lord with the instruments that I have made for worship.”

The priests, Shebaniah, Joshaphat, Nethanel, Amasai, Zechariah, Benaiah, and Eliezer, were to blow trumpets before the ark of God. Obed-edom and Jehiah were also to be gatekeepers for the ark.

They improvise songs to the sound of the harp
and invent their own musical instruments like David.

The sons of Aaron, the priests, are to sound the trumpets. Your use of these is a permanent statute throughout your generations.

You are to sound the trumpets over your burnt offerings and your fellowship sacrifices and on your joyous occasions, your appointed festivals, and the beginning of each of your months. They will serve as a reminder for you before your God: I am Yahweh your God.”

Have seven priests carry seven ram’s-horn trumpets in front of the ark. But on the seventh day, march around the city seven times, while the priests blow the trumpets.

and the priests Benaiah and Jahaziel blew the trumpets regularly before the ark of the covenant of God.

the Levitical singers dressed in fine linen and carrying cymbals, harps, and lyres were standing east of the altar, and with them were 120 priests blowing trumpets. The Levitical singers were descendants of Asaph, Heman, and Jeduthun and their sons and relatives.

Blow the horn on the day of our feasts
during the new moon
and during the full moon.

Singers and dancers alike will say,
“My whole source of joy is in you.”

Sing to the Lord with the lyre,
with the lyre and melodious song.

Praise Him with trumpet blast;
praise Him with harp and lyre.

The Lord will save me;
we will play stringed instruments
all the days of our lives
at the house of the Lord.
