Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, then ^(F1)Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-edom, and Jeiel, with musical instruments, harps, and lyres; also Asaph played loud-sounding cymbals,

and the priests Benaiah and Jahaziel blew trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of God.
