16 David now said to the chiefs of the Levites to station their brothers the singers+ with the instruments of song,+ stringed instruments+ and harps+ and cymbals,+ playing aloud to cause a sound of rejoicing to arise.

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.+
