1 Chronicles 16:2

David
Praise and worship

1 So they brought the ark of God and placed it inside the tent that David had pitched for it. And they presented burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.

When David had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD.

3 Then he distributed to every man and woman of Israel a loaf of bread, a date cake, and a raisin cake.

4 David appointed some of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, to celebrate, to give thanks, and to praise the LORD, the God of Israel.
