12 And the king proceeded to make out of the timbers of the algum trees supports for the house of Jehovah+ and for the house of the king, and also harps+ and stringed+ instruments for the singers. Timbers of algum trees like this have not come in nor have they been seen down to this day.

25 Further, David and the chiefs+ of the service groups+ separated for the service some of the sons of Aʹsaph, Heʹman+ and Je·duʹthun+ the ones prophesying with the harps,+ with the stringed instruments+ and with the cymbals.+ And from their number the official men for their service came to be.
