1 Chronicles 6:31–47

THE MUSICIANS

³¹These are the men David put in charge of the music in the Lord’s temple^b after the ark came to rest there.^{c 32}They ministered with song in front of the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, until Solomon built the Lord’s temple in Jerusalem, and they performed their task according to the regulations given to them. ³³These are the men who served with their sons.
