Wherefore wentest thou away secretly, unknown to me, and didst not tell me, that I might have brought thee on the way with mirth, singing, timbrels and harps,

And Miriam, a prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women came out after her with timbrels in a dance.

Then Jephthah came to Mizpeh unto his house. And see, his daughter came out against him, with timbrels and dances, which was his only child: so that beside her he had neither son nor daughter.

The singers go before, the minstrels follow after; in the midst are the damsels playing with the timbrels.

Take the psalm, bring hither the tabret, the merry harp with the lute.

Let them praise his name in the dance, let them sing praises unto him with tabret and harp.

Praise him in the cymbals and dances; praise him upon the strings and pipe.

And it shall come to pass that whithersoever he goeth the rod shall cleave unto him which the LORD shall lay upon him, with tabrets and harps: and with a great war shall he fight against his host.
