1 Chronicles 16:6

BenaiahJahaziel
Praise and worship

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.

5 Asaph was the chief, Zechariah was second, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-edom, and Jeiel. They were to play the harps and lyres, while Asaph sounded the cymbals

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

7 On that day David first committed to Asaph and his brothers this song of thanksgiving to the LORD:

8 “Give thanks to the LORD; call upon His name; make known His deeds among the nations.
