25 Meantime, he had the Levites+ stationed at the house of Jehovah, with cymbals,+ with stringed instruments+ and with harps,+ by the commandment of David+ and of Gad+ the king’s visionary and of Nathan+ the prophet, for it was by the hand of Jehovah that the commandment was by means of his prophets.+

10 When the builders laid the foundation+ of the temple of Jehovah, then the priests in official clothing,+ with the trumpets,+ and the Levites the sons of Aʹsaph,+ with the cymbals,+ stood up to praise Jehovah according to the direction+ of David the king of Israel.

27 And at the inauguration+ of the wall of Jerusalem they looked for the Levites, to bring them out of all their places to Jerusalem to carry on an inauguration and a rejoicing even with thanksgivings+ and with song,+ cymbals [and] stringed instruments+ and with harps.+
