1 Chronicles 15:17

15 And the children of the Levites bore the ark of God on their shoulders, by its poles, as ^aMoses had commanded according to the word of the Lord.

16 Then David spoke to the leaders of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be the singers accompanied by instruments of music, stringed instruments, harps, and cymbals, by raising the voice with resounding joy.

17 So the Levites appointed ^aHeman the son of Joel; and of his brethren, ^bAsaph the son of Berechiah; and of their brethren, the sons of Merari, ^cEthan the son of Kushaiah;

18 and with them their brethren of the second rank: Zechariah, Ben, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Unni, Eliab, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattithiah, Elipheleh, Mikneiah, Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, the gatekeepers;

19 the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were to sound the cymbals of bronze;

1 Chronicles 15:16-24

David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint . . . the singers with instruments—These eminent Levites were instructed to train the musicians and singers who were under them, for the solemn procession. The performers were ranged in three choirs or bands, and the names of the principal leaders are given (I Chronicles 15:17-18, I Chronicles 15:21), with the instruments respectively used by each. "Ben" (I Chronicles 15:18) is omitted (I Chronicles 15:20). Either it was used merely as a common noun, to intimate that Zechariah was the son of Jaaziel or Aziel, or Ben is the same as Azaziah [I Chronicles 15:21].
