They brought in the ark of God and put it in the middle of the tent that David had set up for it. Then they offered burnt offerings and fellowship offerings before God.

When David had finished sacrificing the burnt offering and the fellowship offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Yahweh.

He distributed to every Israelite, both to men and women, a loaf of bread, and a piece of meat, and a cake of raisins.

Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests were to blow the trumpets regularly, before the ark of the covenant of God.

He said, “I will give you the land of Canaan as your share of your inheritance.”
19 Pavakanga vari vashoma, vari vashoma kwazvo, vari vatorwa mairi,
When they were only few in number, so very few, and they were strangers in the land,

Then say, “Save us, God of our salvation. Gather us together and rescue us from the other nations, so that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praises.”

They were to offer burnt offerings to Yahweh on the altar for burnt offerings continually morning and evening, according to all that is written in the law of Yahweh, which he gave as a command to Israel.
41 Pakati pavo paiva naHemani naJedhutuni navamwe vose vaiva vakasarudzwa namazita kuti vavonge Jehovha, “Nokuti rudo rwake runogara nokusingaperi.”
Heman and Jeduthun were with them, together with the rest who were chosen by name, to give thanks to Yahweh, because his covenant faithfulness endures forever.

Heman and Jeduthun were in charge of those who played trumpets, cymbals, and the other instruments for the sacred music. The sons of Jeduthun guarded the gate.
43 Ipapo vanhu vose vakabvapo, mumwe nomumwe akaenda kumba kwake, uye Dhavhidhi akadzokera kumba kwake kundoropafadza mhuri yake.
Then all the people returned to their homes, and David returned to bless his own household.
