Thought for the Day

Thought for the Day
1Chronicles 15:2, “And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, and Obededom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps on the Sheminith to excel.”   Psalm 12:1(superscription),”To the chief Musician upon Sheminith.” 1Chronicles 15:20, “And Zechariah, and Aziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maaseiah, and Benaiah, with psalteries on Alamoth” Psalm 46:1, (superscription),”To the chief Musician for the sons of Korah, A Song upon Alamoth.”  Both Sheminith and alamoth indicate that the ancient Levite musicians utilized octaves in their musicing.
