And David spake to the chief of the Levites, etc.] The six before mentioned, (<131511>1 Chronicles 15:11) to appoint their brethren to be the singers; before the ark, as they brought it up: with instruments of music, psalteries, and harps, and cymbals; which were used in those times, (see <100605>2 Samuel 6:5 13:8) sounding by lifting up the voice with joy; the instrumental music was to be attended with vocal music, and that very sonorous and loud, and performed with all tokens of inward joy and gladness, as the occasion required.
