1 Chronicles 16:4 in Context — 1 Chronicles 16
2 Quand David eut achevé d’offrir les holocaustes et les sacrifices d’actions de grâces, il bénit le peuple au nom de l’Éternel.
3 Puis il distribua à tous ceux d’Israël, hommes et femmes, à chacun un pain, une portion de viande et un gâteau de raisins.
4 Il remit à des Lévites la charge de faire le service devant l’arche de l’Éternel, d’invoquer, de louer et de célébrer l’Éternel, le Dieu d’Israël.
5 C’étaient: Asaph, le chef; Zacharie, le second après lui, Jeïel, Schemiramoth, Jehiel, Matthithia, Éliab, Benaja, Obed-Édom et Jeïel. Ils avaient des instruments de musique, des luths et des harpes; et Asaph faisait retentir les cymbales.
6 Les sacrificateurs Benaja et Jachaziel sonnaient continuellement des trompettes devant l’arche de l’alliance de Dieu.
