The ark was placed inside the tent prepared for it, and burnt and fellowship offerings were made before God. Then David gave each person a loaf of bread, a cake of dates and a cake of raisins. After this David appointed some of the Levites to minister before the ark of the Lord and some had to play musical instruments. Then David told Asaph and his associates to sing a Psalm of praise to the Lord, and much of this is also found in the Book of Psalms as for example Psalm 105. The Psalm of praise is as follows:
Give praise to the Lord... sing to him... glory in his holy name... look to the Lord and his strength... remember the wonders he has done... he is the Lord our God... he remembers his covenant forever... sing to the Lord all the earth... for great is the Lord... splendour and majesty are before him... ascribe to the Lord the glory due to his name... worship the Lord in the splendour of his holiness... give thanks to the Lord for he is good... praise be to the Lord the God of Israel! And all the people said amen and praise the Lord.
Then David left Asaph and his associates to minister regularly, and left Zadok and the priests to serve before the tabernacle. Then all the people went home and David returned home and blessed his family.
