Regular Worship Maintained

37 So he left wAsaph and his brothers there before the ark of the covenant of the Lord to minister before the ark regularly, as every day’s work xrequired; 38 and yObed-Edom with his sixty-eight brethren, including Obed-Edom the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah, to be gatekeepers; 39 and Zadok the priest and his brethren the priests, zbefore the tabernacle of the Lord aat the 2high place that was at Gibeon, 40 to offer burnt offerings to the Lord on the altar of burnt offering regularly bmorning and evening, and to do according to all that is written in the Law of the Lord which He commanded Israel; 41 and with them Heman and Jeduthun and the rest who were chosen, who were designated by name, to give thanks to the Lord, cbecause His mercy endures forever; 4and with them Heman and Jeduthun, to sound aloud with trumpets and cymbals and the musical instruments of God. Now the sons of Jeduthun were gatekeepers.

43 dThen all the people departed, every man to his house; and David returned to bless his house.

About The New King James Version

The New King James Version is a total update of the 1611 King James Version, also known as the "Authorized Version." Every attempt has been made to maintain the beauty of the original version while updating the English grammar to contemporary style and usage. The result is much better "readability." It is noteworthy that the NKJV is one of the few modern translations still based on the "Western" or "Byzantine" manuscript tradition. This makes the New King James Version an invaluable aid to comparative English Bible study.
