And he appointedH5414 certain of the LevitesH3881 to ministerH8334 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068, and to recordH2142, and to thankH3034 and praiseH1984 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478:
AsaphH623 the chiefH7218, and nextH4932 to him ZechariahH2148, JeielH3273, and ShemiramothH8070, and JehielH3171, and MattithiahH4993, and EliabH446, and BenaiahH1141, and ObededomH5654: and JeielH3273 with psalteriesH5035+H3627 and with harpsH3658; but AsaphH623 made a soundH8085 with cymbalsH4700; {with psalteries…: Heb. with instruments of psalteries and harps}
BenaiahH1141 also and JahazielH3166 the priestsH3548 with trumpetsH2689 continuallyH8548 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of GodH430.
And JohananH3110 begatH3205 AzariahH5838, (he it is that executed the priest's officeH3547 in the templeH1004 that SolomonH8010 builtH1129 in JerusalemH3389:) {in the temple: Heb. in the house}
And these are the singersH7891, chiefH7218 of the fathersH1 of the LevitesH3881, who remaining in the chambersH3957 were freeH6362+H6359: for they were employed in that workH4399 dayH3119 and nightH3915. {they…: Heb. upon them}
So he leftH5800 there beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 AsaphH623 and his brethrenH251, to ministerH8334 beforeH6440 the arkH727 continuallyH8548, as every day'sH3117 workH1697 requiredH3117:
And ObededomH5654 with their brethrenH251, threescoreH8346 and eightH8083; ObededomH5654 also the sonH1121 of JeduthunH3038 and HosahH2621 to be portersH7778:
And ZadokH6659 the priestH3548, and his brethrenH251 the priestsH3548, beforeH6440 the tabernacleH4908 of the LORDH3068 in the high placeH1116 that was at GibeonH1391,
To offerH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 unto the LORDH3068 upon the altarH4196 of the burnt offeringH5930 continuallyH8548 morningH1242 and eveningH6153, and to do according to all that is writtenH3789 in the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068, which he commandedH6680 IsraelH3478; {morning…: Heb. in the morning, and in the evening}
And with them HemanH1968 and JeduthunH3038, and the restH7605 that were chosenH1305, who were expressedH5344 by nameH8034, to give thanksH3034 to the LORDH3068, because his mercyH2617 endureth for everH5769;
And with them HemanH1968 and JeduthunH3038 with trumpetsH2689 and cymbalsH4700 for those that should make a soundH8085, and with musicalH7892 instrumentsH3627 of GodH430. And the sonsH1121 of JeduthunH3038 were portersH8179. {porters: Heb. for the gate}
And the priestsH3548 brought inH935 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 unto his placeH4725, into the oracleH1687 of the houseH1004, to the mostH6944 holyH6944 place, even under the wingsH3671 of the cherubimsH3742.
For the cherubimsH3742 spread forthH6566 their two wingsH3671 over the placeH4725 of the arkH727, and the cherubimsH3742 coveredH5526 the arkH727 and the stavesH905 thereof aboveH4605.
And they drew outH748 the stavesH905, that the endsH7218 of the stavesH905 were seen outH7200 in the holyH6944 place beforeH6440 the oracleH1687, and they were not seenH7200 withoutH2351: and there they are unto this dayH3117. {ends: Heb. heads} {holy…: or, ark}
There was nothing in the arkH727 saveH7535 the twoH8147 tablesH3871 of stoneH68, which MosesH4872 putH3240 there at HorebH2722, when the LORDH3068 madeH3772 a covenant with the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, when they came outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714. {when the: or, where the}
And it came to pass, when the priestsH3548 were come outH3318 of the holyH6944 place, that the cloudH6051 filledH4390 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068,
So that the priestsH3548 couldH3201 not standH5975 to ministerH8334 becauseH6440 of the cloudH6051: for the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 had filledH4390 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
Then spakeH559 SolomonH8010, The LORDH3068 saidH559 that he would dwellH7931 in the thick darknessH6205.
I have surelyH1129 builtH1129 thee an houseH1004 to dwell inH2073, a settled placeH4349 for thee to abide inH3427 for everH5769.
So the numberH4557 of them, with their brethrenH251 that were instructedH3925 in the songsH7892 of the LORDH3068, even all that were cunningH995, was two hundredH3967 fourscoreH8084 and eightH8083.
And they castH5307 lotsH1486, wardH4931 againstH5980 ward, as well the smallH6996 as the greatH1419, the teacherH995 as the scholarH8527.
