And all the people said, Amen, and praised the LORD.\n \n37\u00a0So he left there before the ark of the covenant of the LORD Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, as every day's work required:\n \n38\u00a0And Obededom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obededom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be porters:\n \n39\u00a0And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that was at Gibeon,\n \n40\u00a0To offer burnt offerings unto the LORD upon the altar of the burnt offering continually morning and evening, and to do according to all that is written in the law of the LORD, which he commanded Israel;\n \n41\u00a0And with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were expressed by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because his mercy endureth for ever;\n \n42\u00a0And with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should make a sound, and with musical instruments of God. And the sons of Jeduthun were porters.\n \n43\u00a0And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.","title":"King James Version: 1 Chronicles: 1 Chronicles Chapter 16","type":"page"}
