1 CHRONICLES 15:16 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be the singers with instruments of musick, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy.”
David commanded chiefs of Levites to appoint their brothers as singers with instruments — David shifts from carrying to singing; Chronicler emphasizes David as liturgical innovator and organizer. Appointment reflects post-exilic practice where Levitical singers held formal status. Hebrew 'shir' (singers) signal joy and thanksgiving.
