When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the LORD’s name.

Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, with stringed instruments and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud;
6 Banaiam vero et Azihel sacerdotes canere tuba iugiter coram arca foederis Domini
