1Chronicles 16:4, “And he appointed
certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, and to record,
and to thank and praise the LORD God of Israel: Asaph the chief, and next to
him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab,
and Benaiah, and Obededom: and Jeiel with psalteries and with harps; but Asaph
made a sound with cymbals…”
In
this chapter David brought the ark of God to the tent. This ark was a symbol of the manifest
presence of YHVH. Mathew Henry said
that, “This chapter concludes that great affair of the settlement of the ark in
the royal city, and with it the settlement of the public worship of God during
the reign of David.” The establishment
of Public worship in ancient Israel included both instrumental and vocal music.
